This sounds a bit like my situation, brambles. I am scheduled to fly ABQ, DFW, AMS, TLV in May. About a month ago American chopped off the flight from Amsterdam to Tel Aviv, but on the return in June, still have me leaving from TLV. How they think I can get to Israel from Amsterdam is a mystery. Two weeks ago they whittled away the Dallas to Amsterdam leg. I suppose since there are still flights within the US, American thinks it can keep that part of my trip. Since I am not allowed to land in Israel (per their government), I don't see how American can keep my trip listed or expect to fly me out of Israel to return home, but they are. I am sure it is because they hope I will panic and hit the button on the aa.com website to cancel, which as others have said will only get me a voucher and not a refund. I suppose at the end of April they will have whittled away another leg or two. But the kicker is American has not bothered to notify me at all of any of these changes.
