It's OK just keep in mind few nits if you purchase from AA:
  • All voluntary changes will have to be done with AA. With some code codeshares (like BA) ticket changes require to call.
  • Advance seat assignments may need to be handled by QR, you will get QR booking code on AA website
  • If ticket is non-refundable and you cancel, you will get flight credit on AA
  • On day of departure QR will be your primary contact and will handle IRROS
  • Making voluntary changes during the flight, i.e. you are in DOHA and want to take earlier flight etc are virtually impossible on codeshare ticket
  • If you are collecting AA miles, they will probably post based on ticket price. I remember last time non-codeshare QR in J were distance based and posted significant J bonus , so you will probably lose on miles here
Yes, those are AA codeshare flights. Thank you so much for the info, it's really helpful!!
