Really? My AF-marketed-and-operated flight reservations never showed up in my DL account, but I just assumed that was normal. BA bookings don't generally show up on AA.com.
These AF flights were booked via Amex Platinum Travel, with my SkyMiles account. They also wouldn't show on AF.com, as there was no FlyingBlue account associated with it, but I was able to get it to show and stick in the AF app using the PNR.
Maybe it's a difference between booking with AF and using a travel agent?
Hmm, now that I think about it, my SkyMiles number did show in the reservation, but I *think* when I got to the airport it wasn't on the boarding pass and they had to re-enter it (I can't remember for sure). So perhaps it wasn't "properly" associated with the reservation.
