He said it can't be done. Any advice? Should I have fed the code share number to the agent when I booked? (The oneworld booking tool, of course, does not list code shares.) Will AA do it? I understand if another airline touches the ticket, they have to reissue the whole thing, so I doubt they'll be enthusiastic even if able. It matters for EQM accrual to AAdvantage 2 EQM/mi on AA vs 1.5 on CX.
