A possibly interesting situation with 2 tckets that I came across

2 ATW tickets with a couple of AA segments. Originally made as 1 booking with 2 passengers ticketed by QF

3 or 4 changes were made to the itinerary. The last one had to be done on separate dates due to availability. On one day JFK-NRT was changed to AA codedhare rather than the JL code - a couple of weeks later managed to change the other ticket ( since the passengers were keen on the extra EQMs for the AA flight numbers)

The AA codeshare flight to JFK credited as Distance - data unavailable for both. For 2 AA sectors ( which hadnt been touched ) for JFK-LAX and LAS-MIA, one of the bookings, JFK-LAX credited as Fare and the other credited as Distance - data unavailable

Led to eanings

Code:
			EQM	EQD	Base	Bonus	Total
JFK-LAX	Distance	4950	867	2475	3342	5817
JFK-LAX	Fare		4950	118	590	354	944
LAS-MIA	Distance	4350	762	2175	2937	5112
LAS-MIA	Fare		4350	104	520	312	832
Both tickets were booked on the same day underwent exactly the same changes and were for exactly the same routing; the only difference was that the last change caused a split of the bookings and the changes were made on diferent days

Ended up with a difference between the 2 bookings of 9153 award miles and 1407 EQDs
