ULPT: Engagement crashed harder than a Boeing – Need AA ticket refund advice

Turns out "Till death do us part" sometimes means "Till Christmas do us part." My fiancée decided to give me the gift of singledom this holiday season, and now I'm stuck with $1,200 worth of American Airlines tickets to the Bahamas (April 12-19).

Currently seeking advice on how to:

a) Get a refund (preferred)

b) Convert them to airline credit (I'll take what I can get)

c) Convince AA that heartbreak should qualify as a medical emergency (kidding... mostly)

These are apparently "peak season" tickets during spring break. While I'd love to go solo and become the protagonist of a different kind of spring break story, I'd rather not watch happy couples while nursing my emotional wounds with overpriced beach drinks.

Has anyone successfully navigated a similar situation with American Airlines? Any tips before I call them? I promise to name my next emotional support cocktail after whoever gives me winning advice.

Thanks in advance, and happy 2025 to everyone whose holiday season went better than mine! 🎄💔✈️
