American Airlines has a whopping $200 change fee on paid fares (other than full fare refundable tickets) for domestic flights, and up to $450 for international flights. Same day changes are $75 in economy and free for business and first class passengers on paid fares.
Buy a round-trip ticket with the required fixed return date, then pay the airlineâs penalty to change your return when you finally decide on a date. That can cost an extra fee up to $150 (or more on some international tickets), but it may still be the best option.
