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

You have to call to choose seats.

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

I haven't booked one, but the taxes should be £188.57 one way ( approx $235 ) according to ITA

According to my EY itinerary, it is on BOEING 777-300ER (Flight 151). When I look over at seatguru, it states that it is a 2 class service with Pearl Business and Coral Economy.

Last year APR i also booked with my AA miles DAC-AUH-PAR in C as an award for 30k ( bevore devaluation ), and we got a free chauffeur ride from CDG to Gare du nord trainstation which is aprox 45 km.
