As I said, I am sorry. I am sorry for trying to figure this out, and will simply forget about it (unless I run into it). If anyone confirms there is a bug in EF, or a different issue that can be a problem, I think it would be helpful for us in the RTW forums to know about it.
No apology necessary, happy to help to a greater understanding of how this all works. Before this trip, I never had a problem where a codeshare was necessary. For reference, before the current group of three tickets, I always booked through the AA RTW desk or Mindpearl, -- don't know if that is related or helps your analysis, but there it is. My gut feeling is that the married segment issue is not what's going on here, but that's only my gut feeling based on my experience, of course, but not based on any hard evidence.
