Thread: New to non-rev travel and now registered companion on AA--a few questions!

I would definitely take an earlier flight out of PHX. A lot can happen - maintenance/weather delays, cancellations or not getting on. One good rule of thumb is to take the earliest flight possible (5/6 am), especially if you are trying to make a connection. Better to be wasting the hours away in DFW than in PHX watching the plane you should've been on pull away. You can either cancel everything and relist or edit your current itinerary and then delete the segment you don't want and then add the segment you do want. It's really hard to predict what will happen with a flight. I've experienced everything from not getting on green flights, making it on oversold flights after they asked for volunteers and ended up not needing them to everything in between. A month out is still too far out. Within a week of travel is when nonrevs and commuting flight crew start listing.
