Anyone seeing anything that returns into the US by Oct. 26 or departs JFK on/after Nov. 6? I almost booked the Oct. 24-26 trip, but it arrived too late in the US on the 27th to make my flights on the 27th, which can't be SDC'd since they're to Asia.

Cheapo gave me 3 separate PNRs. AA booked into O class so both the TATL segments SHOULD be eligible for standard 100% EQM and 50% EQP. I say should only because I'm not sure if this is some kind of specific consolidator fare or something that doesn't accrue anything. For Swiss and Alitalia if your itinerary includes that you should be able to add your preferred *A or SkyTeam partner respectively.

Is there some risk there if you misconnect? AA would surely look after you if you had One World partner flights on separate PNRs, but how about AA and other airlines? What happens if you don't make the AA flight home and it's on a totally different PNR, or the AA flight into Rome is late and you don't make the onward connection, on a separate PNR, from there?

Different reservation systems use different PNRs.. I'd worry more if he was given three ticket numbers.

As an aside: I see many posts on this fare from people with less than 20 posts on FT (some less than 10) Gosh the Newbies are very smart these days "Welecome to FT, you guys!!)

I'm finishing up on the phone with American Airlines right now. Four of my bookings went through, my fifth one did not. She told me AA is working with Swiss to get any tickets not already issued halted in process. As a one time exception, the supervisor is honoring the $189 fare I was quoted through Cheapoair (she could see the pricing record), and issuing it on AA stock so that I can apply an upgrade to the itinerary.
Thanks again for the great deal, much appreciated! Have a good night!
