Another data point for trying to book another AA/US flight today.

Web site was pricing 50% higher than Google Flights, Expedia, AA and US web sites.

Called in. Was able to get what I needed but it took 25 min.

And then after getting the booking....look up the record locators on the airlines web sites. Somehow our FF numbers did not get properly appended to the booking, despite providing them over the phone.

It does make TYP way more useful, basically turning them into a way around the lack of sAAver inventory, and opening up mixed carrier types of itins, but its tiresome having to deal with this.

Todays rep was good, and sorted everything out in 25min, but I'm still going to have get those FF's added manually I think. Maybe its an issue that AA ones aren't mapping to US flights? I thought those were getting merged....?

And of course if code shares are able to be paid for via this, even better!
