Had the same issue with AA flight booked through Qatar

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!

It took a while for my Qatar flights to show up in AA … and when they did I couldn’t choose a seat. I finally called AA and gave the agent my flight information and he eventually assigned me a seat. He did try to charge me $30 for getting a seat by calling, but when I explained the website wouldn’t allow me to do it online he waived the fee.
