Airlines will not generally touch a ticket issued via a travel agent (apart from things like seat resevervations) until a couple of days before travel, when it comes back under their control.

OP - You received good advice above to have your options ready in advance, even moreso when somebody else will be discussing it with the airline on your behalf.

On the positive side, this really is an everyday occurrence, especially with US carriers, so the airline is unlikely to create too many issues in finding an appropriate solution for you. Hope it is resolved satisfactorily.

By the way, regarding MyFlights, it is indeed a fantastic app, but it only provides updates for airlines on on the Amadeus system, which I don't think includes any of the 3 major US carriers. It's great for BA and many European airlines though.

It doesn't support Sabre which I believe is the main AA ticketing system. However if the flight is booked via BA which is Amadeus based then the AA flights will have connection vis the BA PNR. So should still provide notifications.

More recently I experienced changes notified via myflights of the changes to AA booking classes on their domestic flights.

Just had a change notification from Delta... our inward bound flight this September from Tampa was meant to be 5:00pm to Boston... they now changed it to 9:30am! Which I suppose if worse comes to worse it will give us nigh on 8 hours in Boston to have a nose about... not ideal and to be fair I'm not panicking yet as this is the FIFTH time (started off going to Miami... then Atlanta... and now Boston) they have already changed our inward bound flight since October! You know what... I reckon they might change it again!

Correct that AA is on Sabre (they developed Sabre and were its original owners). Interesing about the AA domestics, were they booked with AA or via BA? My commiserations on your reduced TPs...

The OP is on DL, so I'm thinking that they won't show updates on MyFlights, but not 100% on that.

Yes thought I would have to chase them like I say will be keeping a close eye on them just in case but planning is back under way

There are loads more domestic flights to MCO from ATL than BOS, so if worst should happen and you miss this connection, it will be easier for them to get you down to MCO same day.

So glad you have it sorted.
