Hijacking thread with my own question on this topic :)

Historically I found booking a code-share to normally be more pricey and not useful.....but I'm looking at a Finnair flight now that costs the exact same on AA. However, the cancel/ change policies are different........AA allows all flights to be cancelled and have travel credit for a year from booking.....whereas Finnair permits unlimited changes until 31 May and one single change after 31 May but the change must be a rebook (they don't give blanket credit).

In this case, I am really tempted to go AA for the additional flexibility in these COVID and regional war times.

Anyone had issues with getting AA credit for cancelling a code-share?

I primarily think this is BA’s fault but expected AA to take responsibility since we paid them fir the round trip flight.
If there was a ticketing issue, that would almost certainly be AA's fault.

Before buying new tickets, did you contact AA and ask it to fix the issue?

If you can't travel due to war I'm sure that you will have no problem getting a full refund. If not from the airline, from your credit card or the travel insurance that they provide.

Be careful if relying on travel insurance for that - my current plans both list "War (declared or undeclared) or acts of war" as general exclusions.

Most likely. But possibly not. Things like this do happen, and some agents deal with it well, while others will just tell you to go talk to someone else.

Certainly need more details. Which the OP has been asked for, but not given.

OP has not logged in since post 13. Doubt he/she will return
