Hmmm, perhaps we are now the "benefit" of the 20 sector limit they introduced a while back. It should certainly make reissues a lot more straightforward if owe's do become all electronic. As far as your CX flight I still don't trust the interchange of information between any of the ow carriers. I would call CX reservations and ask them to look at your booking. At a bare minimum it needs to have a ticket number and then hopefully somewhere in the background it will have a ticket image. I'd make sure to take a copy of the e-ticket itinerary from AA which should also have the ticket number as well as the receipts from the original paper ticket.
