Return ticket

lol @ #27! "do as i say not as i do"

My suggestion of making a reservation and placing it on hold, and to put white out on the Hold part, is not illegal, as you actually have a valid reservation you can still purchase right there at the gate if you wanted to with your smartphone.ipad or calling AA. A pending reservation is different than a fake reservation...haha

but the reservation with AA is only for 24 hours, correct? so, after 24 hours it is just as fake as a fake reservation?

That is why you make the reservation right before you go to the airport...
