autoeng,
Don’t know when you last tried to get a refund based on a fare reduction after the initial ticket purchase but American, along with some of the other airlines, now have a restriction whereby the fare must drop by significant amount before they offer refunds. Last time I paid attention it was the first hundred dollars of the decrease was theirs but something tells me it might be even more than that today.
If I was the OP, i’d still book the fare now if it’s one they are comfortable with because while there ‘could’ be a decrease over the next month, it could go up, too, and a bird in hand.........
And as an additional thought, we still fly AA as our carrier of choice without any of the inflight issues which we've had on JB a few times, but that said, we also prefer JB to return to JFK when on an international flight. Our biggest complaint with AA is they tend to cancel flights a lot or change them to ridiculous connections.
