Even with the LY PNR?  :o
On LY you never use the pnr to check in  :P

Touche...

Weird they allow you to manage the reservation with an AA-issued ticket with the LY PNR, though.

What's so weird about it?
Can't think of an airline that does not allow it.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

You missed the point.

It's weird they allow managing with PNR, but don't allow check-in with same PNR.

AA tickets can usually be check-in online on elal.co.il.
Sometimes when there is another airline on the ticket, especially when the departures is not ex-TLV it will give you a problem checking in.
Side income is the most solid income... בדוק ומנוסה

The ticket is LY to BKK and RJ on the return.
Could that be why?

Ok.
So if they want to ensure that their ticket is still showing properly and hasn't been canceled due to some weird reason, checking on AA.com should do the trick?

If receipt comes up on AA.com you're good.

You can see from the picture that it's J, it's not even fully flat. IIRC Dan had this picture on the MS where he made fun from their J.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

Nothing he writes until the end of time will redeem him in my eyes.
