Can anyone share some SFO/SJC/OAK links for OW? I can't seem to populate any of these AA flights on Google Flights.
Also, I'm trying to think how to nest two of these RTs that are Asia > US in order to maximize EQMs without buying a positioning flight. It's late and I'm a bit out of it - this isn't possible correct? If so - how!?

Damn... I bought during the AA deal a few weeks back for $262. This deal ($302) works to go back to SFO whereas the last deal required a positioning flight to return to SFO/SJC. Oh well. I didn't think a sub-$300 deal would come back. Oh well.
Maybe I'll use the tail end of the AA deal and return on this one. Decisions decisions....

What's the best FF program to book this into(status/miles)? AA/DL or are there even better alternatives?

Now I wish I didn't see that deal and did this one because I have an overseas DL account. Oh well.

Do these fares earn both 100% on DL and AA? I live in Canada so I don't have MQD. Hmmm I wonder which program is better, both AA/DL fly out of YYC and I was looking to potentially switch anyways.

Does anyone know where the original thread is? I can't find it ....
I booked a flight on Jan 4. I arrived at the airport today and turns out Priceline canceled it so AA couldn't even find me in the system until I gave my ticket number. I called Priceline since AA said I needed them to reinstate it ... the Priceline agent was careful to say it was "voided" but then said "someone on the website canceled it" but "definitely not Priceline or the airline." I said it could not have been me (as I needed a ticket back from Asia during this time and I had planned to see family right after), and the agent said, well, has to be someone who can cancel on the website. Well, guess what I found, hidden through a link in a generic "flight change" email showed that Priceline themselves canceled the flight. The agent lied, although I believe the customer service agents don't have full information and aren't empowered to do much anyway.
Regardless, now that I am officially stranded in Japan (given that I am American) and my flight (the last flight of the day to the US besides to Hawaii) has already left, I need to sort out my own ticket asap. I don't trust that Priceline will fix this at all, at least not in the very short timeframe of trying to leave asap tomorrow.
Wondering if anyone else had their tickets canceled? Was hoping to find the original thread so I can see if anyone had similar reports.
Thanks!
