Hi all,
Thanks to everyone in this sub. I just booked my honeymoon return flight MLE-AUH-ORD in J! I called US AA and booked the AUH-ORD segment, but then they didn't see the MLE-AUH segment. I called Australia (which they saw MLE-AUH award space) and added it to itinerary. I knew not to book with Australia because I would likely get a fraud alert. So I called US AA and secured the reservation. The US AA CSR was pretty confused why it was in Australian dollars. I couldn't help but laugh!
Two questions - I have done some reading on how to choose seats, but the "Manage My Booking" does not show up under my EY record locator. Does this take a few days after ticketing to show up?
Also, it was my understanding that the chauffeur service was not available for AA ticketed EY flights. However, it states that chauffeur service is available for any Chicago address. Is this correct? That would be awesome if I could get a free ride from ORD to union station and take the train up to MKE.
Thanks

Chauffeur service is available to any Chicago or suburban area. However, it is not available for AAdvantage award flights.

Can anyone tell me what they paid recently in taxes/fees for the LHR to AUH flight in F? were you charged a telephone booking fee?

I can see 2 guest business seats available from dfw-hyd (oneway) on etihad site but when I call AA to book they can see only 1 seat. Is there a trick to get them to see the 2nd seat?

As of AA award reservations ticketed since iirc August 10 , chauffeur drive is no longer offered
