I do have the ticket numbers that start with 125-214, but nothing that start with 001.

Bonus question: will I get to use my AA elite benefits on the flight since I used BA Avios to book? I am a lowly Gold member. It will be nice to choose MCE seats and not have to pay for a carry-on.

If it matters the flight is from Mexico to US.

Thanks!
Why would you expect a flight booked by BA to show up in your "AA account" if your AAdvantage number is not in the record?

AFAIK, AA does not charge for carry-on bags.

You can call AA and ask them to add your AAdvantage number to your reservation record, but AA might refuse to do so. Did BA provide you with the AA record locator (which will be different than the BA record locator)?
