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?

A case of HUCA. I would call back and ask for the booking fee to be refunded. Its my understanding that when booking an award flight with AS, AS number can't be removed. That was my experience for all of my AA operated flights to Europe. Had wanted to use the lounge using my AB status
