I suspect it is an AA ticket. As long as your AA PNR (which will be the master one) has all flights then there isn't a problem.
Ticket number begins 125-, so would that be BA? That still only shows seven of eight flights.

The AA PNR can't be viewed in CheckMyTrip above, returns an error.

Cheers!

That's a BA ticket. Other possibility is that the PNR you have isn't the master one and instead is the one related to BA operated and AA marketed sectors. There may be a second BA PNR out there. Perhaps ask your agent?

Thanks gcuk. It is taken from post 7 of the TP run thread as I thought it would be relevant to those booking mixtures of AA and BA there. Probably not an obvious place if you are not familiar with that thread tho.

The key is that there is one e-ticket number on BA stock, eg. 125-. PNR's are purely administrative and each carrier will assign a PNR to at least (and possibly more than) its segment(s).

That at least shows that you have paid travel. In addition to your e-ticket, you also have reservations. The e-ticket is proof that you paid for them.

If your BA PNR does not show all segments, then call BA and have this fixed. Same thing with other carriers. If that carrier's PNR does not show segments it operates, call.

All of this is especially true when you are using third-party ticket vendors who like to call themselves TA's. Not the case here. But, some of them like to patch together multiple e-tickets into one or more PNR's and then publish that onto an itinerary which makes it look as though you have a single journey when you don't.
