I recently flew RDU-LHR on AA in D, and LHR-IST (on BA, with BA flight number) in J, all booked on AA.com. The LHR-IST segment posted as the above. Just trying to figure out what the “exception” actually is?
I have had “Distance - exception applies” on the INV/LHR segment of INV/JFK, BA metal and marketed. The LHR/JFK segment was BA metal, AA marketed, and miles posted as method - fare.. 001 ticket, in J. Correct miles, EQM, EQD in both cases.
Perhaps it's the exception that proves the rule.
