I am now sitting in the first class lounge at Sydney airport waiting the departure of QF107. My next flight will be AA to LAX next week. Mr. Meadowfield and I were initially confirmed in D, waitlisted for A, and a few days ago he was cleared into an A seat, while I am left in business class. We were confirmed in the system as travelling together- why would they split couples travelling together? I have rung AA in Sydney, and after initially being told that all AA flights in the USA were two class only,the agent contacted the USA, and the reply was that they wouldn't clear my seat in first. Asked if I could call the AA RTW desk on arrival and reply was " don't know the number - why don't you go to the AA ticket counter on day of travel and see if they can sort it out then." ( where have I heard that before!! )
Can anything be done about this?
On a seperate issue, we changed the date of the US, Europe part of the trip back in October and were told that since the reservation was in the computer system we didn't need to change the ticket. When checking in today we were told we had to have a date change sticker attached to the flight coupon which cost $ 25 each. Our next flights will be with AA and then BA. Do they require the same date change sticker and payment?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
