I've never seen a policy written about this, but it was done for me without hassle as a Gold, so I don't think it's too big of a favor when they can validate a misconnect due to an AA delay.
I'm assuming everything here except the Air Asia bit is 1 PNR...
I will do this if I have to.
And yes. Phx-LAX-HKG-CGK and the return is one PNR.
Where should I go once I get to HKG to get this fixed? Do the Pier or Wing First Class lounges have agents to fix things like the ADmiral'a Clubs in the US?
I've only flown DL to/through HKG sand only twice so I'm not familiar with the airport.
I'm assuming AA doesn't have staff or a lounge at HKG...
