What is the ticket stock? The first 3 numbers of the eticket can be referenced against this: http://www.kovrik.com/sib/travel/airline-codes.txt
Sorry for the delay in responding. I want to give as much info as I can since you guys are taking the time to respond. First off, it's no surprise that AC has the wrong info up at their site. Sorry, I've just had way too many bad experiences with them.

On the eTicket, the two Malaysia Air flights have the Malaysia Air prefix (232). The 4 other flights have the AF prefix (057). Does that make sense? That the MA flights are from MA stock and the AF, Delta and AC flights are from AF ticket stock?

I won't be surprised if these tickets are not eligible for FF points. I'll count it a lesson learned. If these flights are ineligible, it will be interesting for me to get some sort of indication of what those FF points might have been worth had I booked on a better fare basis. I realize that's a hard calculation to make...
