I booked this whole itinerary months ago from Germany. Now I'm stuck. I NEVER take American intercontinental unless I get a bait and switch, and British Airways books the flight on a code share (I never get to see the flight number, or I would recognize the code share from the high number) and sets us in an American plane.
