So, there was availability in ET in R outbound and V inbound, no availability in D, but availability CE in J.

I then pulled up the booking in MMB and it says full mileage and 40TPs.

Also AA gave me pre-assigned seats in ET without having my BAEC number in the booking.

AA takes the seats out of its own availability buckets. E.g. often if I-class is sold out on ba.com, you can still get it at aa.com @:-)

Though I am a bit puzzled why DEUNBA would book into R and V class..... It should book into D and be a business class fare (as also noted by other posters).
