These are presumably the same flight (as an AY codeshare) -- not sure why the difference in aircraft. Assuming they are the same flight, can I book this flight as AY 5927 even though I'm continuing on with BA from LHR-PEK?
The woman at AA's RTW desk couldn't find the AY flight (or at least D availability on it), yet Expertflyer still shows D4 for the AY equivalent. Should I try calling AA's RTW desk again and ask? Can AY or BA make a change to the itinerary while it is out for pricing? Or can I ask BA to request that D space is made available (since AY apparently thinks it should be)? Thanks for any tips...
