Ok the ticket was on CX flight issued by AA through AA.com.Not a codeshare. I booked the ticket 3 days prior and when I tried to e-tkt the ticket was told I had to have it issued as a paper ticket. So I called the morning before my flight Friday morning, and asked if I needed to purchase the ticket by a certain time. I would have gone to SNA to do so. The response was no be at the airport by 11pm to ticket it. So I arrived about 2130 ro so and found out it had been canceled about 2010 four hours before departure. I understad the CX CRS but I dont think AA does or AA does not know how to make it work with their system. The whle thing with the JAL flight was this I wanted to get the maximum amount of miles and this was the way to do it LAX-TPE-KIX as opposed to LAX-KIX. As AA did not want to authorize the ticket to them for some reason or another.
Now christep I think you have mistook what I was saying about CX. My beef with CX was how incredibly rude they were. The way I was spoken to by both the Agent and the supervisor of CX was as though it was my fault.
The thing I want to know is how CX clears stand-bys. I was told by the AA agent I was the highest elite on the list however I was pretty far down as far as being cleared. Most of the passengers were Economy. Not sure if from the previous flight or not.
