Have you tried looking for your trip on the Finnair site?

In the end, be sure AY has your AAdvantage number on your boarding passes, and retain those and the ticket number until your AA account shows the miles (or you have to send copies to make a missing mileage claim).

Just was wondering why sometimes the upgrade lists aren't really in accurate order sometimes. For example, I was just on a flight where I was third on the upgrade list. There were only two first class seats, so I knew I wasn't going to get the upgrade, but what puzzled me is that on the list, #1 got one seat and #7 got the second seat. What happened to #2 getting the second upgrade?

Same thing happened on another flight a bit ago. I was #1 on the upgrade list, but people below me on the list got upgraded.

Both times I was sitting right next to the gate, name was never called or anything like that.

Looking at the info I can gather, it seems like the PALL list is just overall different on their side. So while the public sees the basic numbered list, someone lower on the list could have higher priority than the #1 on the back-end?

Also, airline miles may be transferred to other programs that may offer even more options. Granted the exchange rate is not great, but if you have no desire to use them for flying then maybe the other program would be more valuable to you.

Also keep in mind as long as you have activity posting to your account (i.e. CC miles) your account will remain open and if you get enough points, you can buy someone else a ticket.

If you have a credit card number with a "virtual card number" (one time use) you may want to use that if you are asked for a credit card number.
