How would I find out if it's one ticket? In Priceline's confirmation email, they gave me 3 confirmation numbers, 1 each for AS, US, DL. When I go to AS's website and enter their confirmation, it gives me all the legs on my outbound (ALW-SEA-PHL-AVP), which seems like it's all 1 ticket.

I'm flying next week, and the late flight to AVP has ~10 exit row / premium seats left, so hopefully I could squeeze on if need be.

Also, according to flightaware, AS32 has been getting in ~10 minutes early, so there's that.

Also, if I miss my connection on that booking and reach AVP 3 hours late, is there any sort of compensation for that besides rebooking?
