Grrrr. I specifically quoted the AA flight numbers as well. Guess I'll have to call again to change it so I can get more miles/points. Is there anything special I have to do to make them book it on the AA number or was the guy I spoke to just being a pain?

Edit: I did look at availability and it looked fine to me. Flights are:
SYD-CHC: AA7345 on 18th May
AKL-SYD: AA7324 on 15th July
SYD-HNL: AA7359 on 17th July

Anyone care to check if there is actually L availability?
Thanks.
