Based on this, I'm assuming I should be refunded as I appear to have followed it to the letter. If that is the case, is it BA as they charged me or AA as they sold me the ticket promising a 0.00 bag fee? I plan on exactly one request before filing a chargeback, but wasn't sure who I need to request this from first.
Unless I am misreading or misunderstanding the AA website, the flight also needs to be operated by AA. See my added emphasis above. I think it is poorly worded, but why have the second "marketed" clause? If the second means what you believe it does, then why have "operated" in the first place? Am I missing something?
