Okay, so you are now (at least) booked on the planes. Great! I hope you get the correct seats.
My confusion is here: Originally you stated CX said it was a zone violation, then CX said "okay so long as AA ticketed it", then AA said they can't. Now it appears you got it. I'm confused...
I just want to know what the policy is. Is J North America -> Asia 2 -> Asia 1 and back 110K or 170K? AA informed members it was 110K using CX. Me likes CX F and F Class lounges at 135K, but is your evidence 210K?
I'm banking that 110K is correct for J, but with the new service to PEK, someone messed it up as a seperate flight itinerary that didn't exist when you originally booked it. Just a hunch.
Keep us updated! And thanks!
