I'm shooting to get elite status with AA and originally paid ~$100 extra for this flight as opposed to a cheaper one with Frontier. My question is whether there's any recourse to get EQM/EQS from AA for this, or if I'm just out of luck?

Thanks!

Call them and ask for original routing credit. You shouldn't have that much of a problem.

Then, if you have a Frontier account you can also credit the flight to them.
