The woman who checked us in booked us on another flight via U.S. Airways through Philadelphia so we can still get home on the same day. Do I need to contact AA EP Service desk to request miles and legs credit via American? I was counting on the miles to ensure I was on track for EP this year. I believe the miles would be 4,271 to NY and another 1,500 to Austin.
