The ticket I got issued the other day had a number of delays in the issue process, mostly due to CX wanting new passport details (and delays at the passport office in issuing my new passport) and Qatar APIS info before they would issue.
They noted that they had to have the info for ticket issue by 22/23SEP (depart 29SEP) or QR and BA would cancel their sectors. The flights (QF, CX, AA, BA, QR) were on hold for 3 weeks. Normally the airline would have released the hold with a day or two.
