Flight change to HH adds 6 hours

[BBMouse]

Booked flights in November on AA connecting through CLT arriving at HHH at 10am ish. Checked for fun today to see if fares had changed and could not find the flight. I checked my reservations and sure enough they completely changed the flight to add a 2 1/2 hr layover and arrive after 4:00 pm. When I told the agent I never received notice he said it just happened today and they have not had a chance to notify people (wow, what are the odds). Change moved us out six hours after we planned to arrive, burning a good portion of the day. I was prepared with my alternate plan which now gets us into SAV around 10am ish. They made the change for no additional charge and I was able to snag decent seats. Not happy about the extra hour in the car from SAV, but I feel lucky to have had the option. Hope that is the only change that happens.

Ugh, what a pain. Glad you found an alternative.

Glad it worked out. AA are usually pretty good about making changes in cases like this, especially if you come with options.

Cheers.
