mine is even more bizarre. i just took a four segment trip to europe from ny. i checked in at ewr, and asked for credit on my aa account (just to see what the response would be). the agent told me that only my intra-european leg (lhr-lis) could be aa (so he apparently knows his stuff). so then i asked if i could put my cp number in the trans-atlantic segment. he then said cp was no longer in the program, as they had been sold the day before. i screamed ALREADY?! this gave him a chuckle as the funniest response he had heard to that piece of information. he then asked a colleague, who said nothing had happened as of yet(so he didn't know EVERYTHING!!!) so in went the cp number on the first flight, and the aa number on the second flight.

three days later, the aa number was put in on the third segment(mad-lhr), with the ba number on the transatlantic a day later(lhr-jfk).

i checked all my 1w accounts the day after arriving home(today), and this is what has posted so far.

aa - lhr-lis (flt #2)
cp - ewr-lhr (flt #1), mad-lhr (flt #3)
ba - nothing as of yet

now, who can explain why cp leapfrogged the connecting flight on sat, yet picked up the third segment on mon with the aa number clearly on it? also, how long does it take ba to post its OWN flight on one of its own accounts, while the other THREE flights going to other accounts post virtually immediately?

p.s. a lovely cp agent has assured me the change will be made immediately.

p.p.s. also, my aa ib flight from sun has posted. this again is usually faster than aa flights post on aa.

they really got some splainin' to do, lucy!!! the first place they should start is amongst themselves!!!
