Thanks. I wasn't referring to an economy comfort or preferred seat. I wanted to know how I would ticket a second seat for someone that needed the extra room. What would I put in the name field? Do I put in a special osi? I remember ticketing without the tax for the second seat. I don't remember if I built the fare manually or if there was a special entry for ticketing.

IIRC you issue a regular ticket for the pax, and call LY to do the exst

I believe you do -2last/first/exst
SSR is 3EXST/ freetext
Not sure about pricing. Maybe there is a PDT in FF

Thank you chff and Chaikel!
I remember doing it this way last time.
Now I just need to figure out how to do the ticketing.
I know I can ask Elal to book the extra seat, but I'd rather have control of the booking.

You do the booking, together with the pax - I think LY has to do the extra seat "TICKET"

I realized that it takes now at least 2 days to get seats assigned when doing a bassinet request,  maybe they are just short with agents  ;)

My suspicion is that they're overworked reseating everyone on the wet leases

I have an American operated flight to FCO booked as IB code share. Continued to TLV with LY. Return is from TLV via MAD all on IB metal. How can I get AA record locator?

In Amadeus.

I should try using the Amadeus PNR for AA or you meant I should do RL?

RL only brought up the IB and LY pnr

That's because LY uses Amadeus. AA doesn't
