Just called in to book CX LAX-HKG in PE using AS miles. Great program and deal. Two questions:
1) The agent charged me $12.50 + $15.00 + $5.60 in taxes and fees. I believe the first was a partner award fee, the second a phone booking fee. I asked for the phone booking fee to be waived, and the agent said this was not possible. Is this right?
2) I asked the agent, after booking the award, to add my AA FFN so I could enjoy the benefits of Oneworld sapphire status. She said this was not possible. Is this right?
