Upgrading an Etihad operated AA flight number flight
Hi,
Has anyone had success upgrading an Etihad operated AA flight number flight before with Etihad guest miles ?? I tried for an upcoming flight from AUH-LAX, and it takes me all the way to the final step, wondering if I would still earn the EQMs and RDMs since it has an AA flight number to it ? Or will the ticket get re issued in a non earning fare class ? If its of any help, I purchased this flight on AA.com with all AA flight numbers.

Rather than letting your miles expire, you should order an Etihad Rewards Card.
