B6 Rebooking onto AA - Standard Practice?
Hey all,
Just learned from my friend whose B6 flight from San Francisco to New York got cancelled this past Monday that B6 rebooked her onto American 2 days later, in First Class no less! She was quite impressed.
I'm just wondering if this is standard practice for B6? My friend has no status on either airline.
Cheers!

IRROPS moving to AA
Its good know that they can interline with AA . I will keep that in mind to suggest it to the agent (via twitter ) if I get stuck via irrops. I would not normall expect to get upgraded to first class though . Its good that they have some interlining ability . I wonder if they will expand it to other airlines that are on Sabre .

As Caphis stated it has become standard practice to reroute customers via AA to their final destination. The main cities that use it frequently are BOS, JFK, and ORD. ORD and BOS do it quite a lot because I've seen it happen on several occasions. AA rebooks on us and we rebook on them to protect the customers.

However, remember than you'll generally be told it isn't an option in situations such as the blizzard last week. If AA is trying to dig themselves out and get their own customers where they need to go, JB generally won't add to their load.
If it's something like a maintenance or crew cancel, AA is often an option.

Interlining is excellent news for those of us in distant B6 outstations where irrops / cancellations have traditionally resulted in pax being told: come back here in 24, 48, 72 hours for the next available B6 seat, or else forget your trip. Totally unacceptable.
