I'm suspecting a glitch.
I had a purchased ticket show as "on request", and theunhelpful and rude EP agent told me it was ticketed and, after being prodded, quoted the ticket number to me.
She told me she could see it, therefore I could also on AA.com. Of course, I was looking at the record at the moment, and she denied I was seeing that.
When I told her again and what I was seeing and that I felt I should call Web Services, she said "well, go suit yourself!" and terminated the call.
The day before flight I was able to print my boarding passes, and my receipt, with ticket number, did show online. It's a case of Whiskey Foxtrot Tango

I have been dealing with a very odd set of circumstances that involved ticketed award travel and whether a ticket number is always a valid ticket number.
Booked a round trip J class award ticket stl-ord-pvg-hkg in July. Since then have been looking for a direct routing on CX ord-hkg. On October 1 found that in J and took it. Ticket reissued and my miles redeposited and taxes refunded. Two days later F opens up and I grab it and the same thing happens. The ticket looks good and I have a ticket number. Now as I look at my credit card statement I see that one or more of the tax refunds was off from the taxes paid. Some how because the taxes were refunded improperly even though I had a ticket number the ticket was actually shown as exchanged/refunded.
I discovered this on Wednesday when F opened up on the return. When the agent went to exchange and refund the October 3 ticket she said that although there was a ticket number the coupons showed exchanged/refunded instead of OK. It took a good hour to straighten that out and have the new ticket issued.
Now I think I am on easy street. Last night I go to print an itinerary and receipt on AA.com and now I have two ticket numbers instead of one. I call this morning and after 45 minutes they tell me that the first changed ticket was never exchanged/refunded and was still open because the taxes were screwed up and this would prevent me from checking in. They called back and said they needed to correct the taxes and then they could remove the old ticket.
Anyway, the lesson for me is that the email with the ticket number is not necessarily the end all be all if there have been a number of changes are any mistakes along the way.
My current return is hkg-pvg-ord-stl in F and my dilemma is what to do if F in hkg -ord opens up. I think at this point I might just leave it alone and live with what I have.

Whaa? oneworld have the largest lounge space in TBIT, and it's a brand new terminal. It can't be that they don't have the space, can it? Maybe more than they don't want to use the space they've got in that way?

As for TBIT the current Business only lounge is reportedly packed solid at peak hours, with Emeralds even turned away, so it sounds smart to use the entire space for lounge passengers, rather than spa services that only a very few will get the benefit of.

This has been necessary due to them absorbing the *A lounge space.
i.e. Process
- *A vacates old lounge space for venue one floor higher.
- Old *A space renovated and expanded somewhat for *O, *O continues to use the same space it has for the last 7 years.
- Renovation on old *A space completed; *O moves to that area (June '14), legacy *O space begins renovations.
- <current situation with room for 200>
- ~Jan 1st - Renovation on old *O space complete, First and expanded Business open; with room for ~400 more for a total of ~600.

I spoke to one of the CX agents last week and was told the F lounge will be open before the end of the year.
The J lounge is so poorly designed. Look at the buffet area. You have the wall that restricts movement. When that area gets busy and you're stuck by that wall with people crowding the buffet, it's very hard to move around. If that wall wasn't there, the flow wouldn't be so restricted.

Does anyone have any recent reports on how long it takes for an international flight on US metal to go from "On Request" to "Ticketed"? I'm coming up on 48 hours, and starting to wonder. I called in yesterday, and they said that it was scheduled to be ticketed that day. Almost 24 hours later, and it's still not ticketed.
The complication (and the reason I called in) is that the flight had a slight schedule change between the time I put it on hold in my account, and the time I actually booked it. This made me unable to book it online, so I had to call to complete the booking. Even after that, I got a message (when viewing the itinerary) that my ticket couldn't be priced because of a schedule change, and that I needed to call reservations.
Any thoughts? It still shows up as unticketed on US's site, as well.
EDIT: I checked again as soon as I posted this, and the message about needing to call reservations is gone. Hopefully that's a good sign, and it's working its way through the system.

I have booked two other (domestic) flights on US using AA points since then. Both ticketed in less than an hour.

I have an award ticket that went from "Ticketed" to "On Request" due to a flight number change and a 5-minute schedule change. Is there any risk that the partner airline does not grant the "Request"? It's been 3 days and every time I call AA they say that the system is waiting for the confirmation of the partner airline to re-ticket.
