Sorry - been out all day.

I called after about 28 hours - I had one booking to make sure they’d cancelled and one to push through. Both PNRs were still active despite a previous call, both had a “call to finish your booking” warning on the AA site. I could see no charge on my Lloyd’s Amex at that point.

The second level supervisor told me it was sorted and would be ticketed within a couple of hours- that didn’t happen and a second call recreated the ticket and took payment details over the phone. Then I could see pending charge, and tickets arrived the next morning (a Saturday).
