I had a LAX-LHR flight in December, booked using AA miles, that I had to cancel, and I received a full refund of miles and fees. There used to be some pretty hefty “redeposit” fees for cancelling award bookings on US airlines but they seem to have been a pleasant casualty of the last couple of years.

Yeah I did think there was hefty penalties but good to know this has changed. Do you know likely is it that there is phantom availability with AA?

I don’t know, I’m afraid.
