didnt know that either. but obviously my call center agent did know that cause she used the wright flight numbers for the transcontinental (told her AA flight numbers, she used the BA ones)

totally forgot to mention that. obviously unintended: Thank you so much. Without your help and insight I wouldn't have found the itinerary. I got a few messages and could assist at least once in how to get such itineraries from the matrix and what kind of input to the matrix is needed. as stated somewhere else: it is a wonderful feeling to give something back to this friendly, helpful and decent community. its rare to find people like you in these days.
