True, that AA opendated tickets might bring some more questions at security checkpoints, but in all due respect, AA -WILL- accept the tickets as long as there is an existing reservation. They will question it more if it is an open reservation with NO reservation and you're making a reservation there and then at check-in.

All my tickets are open dated. Some of them are on special CX/TW tickets that don't even exist anymore but CX says that it can still be used. However they cannot reissue it to reflect CX/AA as the special RTW fare no longer exists with the demise of TWA. AA on the other hand, even the RTW desk has never heard of the fare since the TWA desk was responsible for it and well, you know, TW only exists in memory.

So I will find out what will happen in 2 weeks when I attempt to use it. Especially from Aug 1 when AA removes the "Operated by TWA" signature entirely.
