An AA codeshare won't generate an Amadeus PNR for IB. To tell you the truth, even having an Amadeus number, which is recognized by iberia.com, does not always help with seat (re)assignments.
Thanks for that explanation. It further clarifies what I was last told. My real interest was ensuring PP info and any required advance passenger info was correct and on file for my return to the U.S. But I suppose/hope when I attempt OLCI for the return to the U.S. using name/ticket # the Iberia website will solicit/verify the information then, rather than inhibit OLCI? (My last Iberia flight was U.S. to E.U. with an initial AA segment, so this was not an issue as I did OLCI with AA.
