Pulling up aa.com reservations
Is there anyway to see my aa.com reservation online when I get this message:
Your reservation details cannot be retrieved at this time. This may be caused by changes made to the reservation outside of AA.com. Please contact AA Reservations
It was viewable before on aa.com but not now. I've tried virtuallythere.com,checkmytrip.com and the LAN website but it either says invalid record locator or the surname must match the booking code.
Thanks

Are you waiting for an upgrade to clear? Usually when I get that message it is b/c the upgrade is processing. It will be available to view the next day. If your really need to access it now, call AA.

No, its an award reservation thats already ticketed and has been sitting onthe website for 3 months but has now disappeared. I don't need to access it now but given it is a 16 segment itinerary over 7 months I would like to be able to see it online in case there are any changes so was wondering if there was any other site where this could be done.

I think you'll find that quite a few AA.com functions have gone off line in the past hour. One of those is being able to automatically retrieve reservations made elsewhere than AA.com. It's a creaky website. Any refreshes or updates, seemingly no matter how small, will often render other parts useless temporarily. Nothing to panic about, though -- just check back later today!

The same thing has happened to me quite a few times, sometimes because my record was being processed for an upgrade or schedule changes, sometimes for mysterious reasons... in any case, waiting 2-4 hours usually is fine.
However, it's time to call if that message hasn't gone away after several hours.

Thanks - its been more than 24hrs. But I really want to know if there is another online option for the reasons listed in my last post. Or will ringing and getting info on the schedule change then get the itinerary reinstated on aa.com?

Have you tried mobile.aa.com? Sometimes that will work even when the main site is down. There are no third-party websites I know of that store this information in real-time.

aa.com still malfunctioning re. account information. The odd thing is that for such an extended period of time one would think that there would be a message posted, such as the message which AA posts when they are updating the accounts.

Folks, let's DO remember Saturday is the big batch processing day at aa.com (yes, the system is that much of a legacy system) and during the first weekend of the month, that can extend well into Sunday, and on occasion even into the wee hours of Monday morning.
Do not panic: I know I have many AAdvantage miles (can't burn the dadgum things fast enough!) and have flown sufficiently to earn Plat and only need one more flightset for EXP this year - yet I show no qualifying activity, no miles earned, no balances, from Feb through "Current." Only my AA-booked reservations show. I am not worried, ommmm! I am not worried, ommmm! I am not...
It will most likely all be back by tomorrow. If anyone has a problem, call AA, or call the very helpful, no fee, folks at Web Services as noted above.

you mostly likely hv a schedule change on a partner airline
If your itinerary involves partner airlines and they have schedule changes, you could have been automatically rebooked, but tickets NOT reissued, and you will have that message and the disappearance of your itinarary.
A phone call to AAdvantage desk would easily take care of such.
We had that happened earlier this year when IB cancelled our flight, but rebooked us on an earlier flight, our reservation disappeared and I got the message. When I called AAdvantage, the agent immediately saw the tickets were not re-issued, and took care of that right away. Itinerary reappeared.
