If you enter them seperately into BA.COM do they all come up with all the same flights? I'm leaning towards the data is being scraped and shown in a confusing manner.
Critically, I wouldn't worry a jot though
For me, my main BA record locator contains 8 flights, as it should (was ticketed with BA).
Flights are as follows (operator in square brackets), all are US codeshares:
DUB - LHR [BA]
LHR - JFK [BA]
JFK - LAX [AA]
LAX - HNL [AA]
HNL - LAX [AA]
LAX - JFK [AA]
JFK - LHR [AA]
LHR - DUB [BA]
I have 2 BA record locators, the main one which contains all flights shown under US flight numbers. I can reserve seats for all AA legs using my AA record locator on aa.com, when looking on ba.com at my main BA record locator though, I can only reserve seats for DUB - LHR and LHR - DUB, not LHR - JFK even though it's operated by BA.
If I then look at the second record locator I have from BA, HNL - LAX and LAX - JFK are missing from it, but I am able to reserve seats for LHR - JFK on this one, and customer service reckon they would hold. It's also worth noting that on this secondary record locator, all of the flights operated by BA appear under their BA flight numbers.
