Managing Qantas reward flight booking for AA flight?

I've just made a reward flight booking on the Qantas site for and American Airlines flight.

Is there any way for me to manage my seat / make a meal request etc? I can't see these options on the Qantas site.

Cheers

Plug your Qantas reference (PNR) and name here: https://www.aa.com/reservations/find...ervationAccess

If that does no work, plug the PNR and Surname here: https://classic.checkmytrip.com/plne...&SITE=XCMTXXNS

Look up you American Airlines PNR after "Airline confirmation number(s)" and use that in the first link.

I grabbed by AA flight number from checkmytrip.com and was then able to login through that link, thanks.

If you have any elite status with QF make sure you add that in to the AA pnr then go back in and do seat selection as you may be able to get
MCE or exit rows if eligible.

I also made an AA booking (economy within US) using Qantas points. The Qantas site is showing that I have 23kg/50lb included baggage with this reservation, but I'm not seeing any specifics regarding baggage allowance for this reservation on the AA site. Anyone know if I can trust the Qantas site? First time using Qantas points and I have no status on either Qantas or AA.

The USA DOT exception to IATA resolution 302 generally applies for a booking with travel involving the USA.

This would be that of the marketing carrier of your flights.

AA flight number then AA's allowance (none free with domestic economy).
QF flight number then QF's allowance (as noted).

Results can vary depending on which site you use. Often when I try the .com.au site the booking won't show. The .com (USA) site will bring it up.
