And thanks for your (as usual) good advice. I've checked carefully, including at the EY website and by calling EY to make sure everything looks in order from their end. But I can't bring up the ticket at the Saudia site. I pluged in the AA 001 code in the first box and then the 10-digit code in the second box, along with my last name. But I get an error message. As a test, I did the equivalent for an SQ ticket I have, and get the same error message. Am I doing something wrong here?

But this has created a slight complication, in that I now have a >24 hour layover in JFK between my early morning AA SFO-JFK flight and my evening EY JFK-AUH flight the following day

I'd like to hold onto that AA flight, partly because I'd welcome the afternoon JFK arrival and long layover, and partly because it's in F and no other F (or J or even Y) award flights are showing as available for SFO-JFK that day (or the following day, for that matter). I'm reluctant to simply leave it all as it is without calling AA, for fear that AA system will at some point invalidate the itinerary due to the >24 connection.

So...anyone have prior experience with a situation like this? Any chance AA will simply let me keep it as is if I call about it? Or, as a second choice, any chance AA will open up another F award seat for later that day but late enough to make the connection <24? Or, finally, should I simply not contact AA about this at all and assume it will all go without a hitch?

Thanks for any advice.
