They will probably seat you in Y for your whole trip

Nope, straight forward booking just like my other one that got cancelled over at BA. Odd.

All my 3 tickets as last described have not changed. 1 canceled, 1 intact, another with a leg missing. I received an email at my address not normally associated with AA saying that the missing-leg flight was canceled - the dates and routes do not match my travel, although when I log in my name is on it (on the vanished "canceled" page). Looks like they made a new PNR for his "twin" version of the flight, and canceled that.

Clearly this was all done manually. Some stuff is slipping through the cracks (no refunds on any of them BTW). Maybe intentionally? I am in wait-and-see mode as DOT complaint, credit card, and AA start settling down. If I have a ticket number and PNR, they have to fly me if I show up. Right?

Is DOT complaint only for people who live in the US?

No, anyone can complain to the DOT.

[Funny mod] I would say that, having seen the last EFs and how BA dealt with the issue, it has become comparable to AZ, except for the fact that AZ at least is more available to honor its EFs.

Mine was just cancelled. Weirdly enough, the email came from BA even though I booked with AA.. Odd.

This just arrived from BA - prompt eh?

Dear Customer,

We are very sorry to advise that it has come to our attention that for a short period of time there was a manifest pricing error for First class seats from Prague. As such, your recent booking was concluded on the basis of the invalid fare and therefore your ticket is not valid for travel and will be refunded.

We don't underestimate the disappointment this will cause you and would like to offer our sincere apologies for this error. The correct prices have now been reinstated and should you wish to rebook your journey, please go to ba.com or contact your local team at ba.com/contactus who would be happy to help you.

Once again, please accept our sincere apologies.

Just received the refund from AA for this one. Funnily enough it is showing as a negative amount just as the original charge. However the two amounts seem to cancel out when checking the card balance. First time I see this for a refund, must be a bug from my bank.

Question

Any advice how to proceed further?

I have booked via aa.com on Thursday late afternoon, tickets issued promptly money taken off the credit card. All flights on AA numbers, ticket issued on AA stock (001)
Checking the reservation online this Monday morning I realized it has been cancelled. Later this week the status has been changed from "cancelled" to "ticketed", however without any segments and booking classes shown.

Other than the initail mail ticket with tickets issued, there has been NO written or verbal communication from AA. No explanation, no apology and - above all - as of yet no refund.

DOT complaint: http://airconsumer.dot.gov/escomplaint/ConsumerForm.cfm

You are in the same boat as many of us, review the thread. I have one ticket that is in this status. Their email of 1 Sept (posted above in the thread) said "Your refund should appear with your credit card company within seven (7) days." Nothing is set yet.

Having seen the Great Dane issue (and how the DOT dealt with it), unfortunately I don't think the DOT will help you to enforce anything.
