AA 169 LAX to NRT can't use SWU????

i booked a flight aa169 from lax to nrt on dec 29

im being told I can't use my swu because it's marketed by JAL

i know I've been able to use swu on this flight before and it's American metal and doesn't mention anywhere on the AA site about being JAL marketed

anything I can do?

If you booked the flight with a JL flight number then you can't do anything. If you booked it as AA169, then just hang up, call again.

ask at airport. Curious that you said the AA site doesn't show it is sold as JAL. Did u book external to AA and u are possibly just looking at the limited PNR which would just show the true aa flight number? I

If you did book this flight with a JL number, your only chances of applying a SWU are at the airport. If you get shot down once while checking in at the airport, try again in the AC and at the gate. Sometimes they'll apply one.
