Just tried the tool for the first time. Here's the itin I was trying to book: CAI-LHR-DOH-CDG-DOH-SYD-NRT-DEL-NRT-CMB-NRT-BOS-LAX-MBJ-LAX-DOH-CAI. The only problem I had with the online tool is that it would only allow 15 segments. Said that my itin was invalid for too many segments. Removed the last one (DOH-CAI) and it was fine. (Since it's not until July, I assume that there will be schedule changes before I start, anyway.)
The message was actually telling you that you had too many segments (5) in Europe/Middle East, where only 4 are allowed.

Ah, I see. You mean the last one, DOH-CAI. Interesting that AA said it was OK. Let's see what the rate desk has to say.

This is very odd. Did something change in the tool? A few weeks ago I used to be able to price out a xONEx ticket, and in some cases (i.e. if the longest segment was AA, etc) I used to be redirected to an AA page where I'd input my credit card and pay. I played with routings for like a week, and finally bought a ticket like that. But now, if I try the same thing, I get to a page that creates a PNR and tells me to call in.
I don't really like calling people, so I'd really prefer this be done automatically. What happened to the old page? Or am I doing something wrong?

Yes there is a new version of the tool - being discussed here - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...king-tool.html
It seems the new version is as quirky/buggy as the old version

The web site will not give me a price now.
Perhaps the ex- CAI price is been raised?
I did manage to but 2 RTW tickets ex CAI. from BA.
but will not count towards my EXP spend.

What are you talking about? Of course it will. That's why AA published the EQD for all of the partner airlines for next year. It's distance-based and a D class fare will generally get you 25% EQD for the distance traveled (a much better deal for the passenger than the fare based model AA uses for its own flights). However, I recently ticketed a RTW fare through QF and the amount I paid immediately showed up in my AA account, so let's see which method they ultimately use.

AA would not issue my Aone4 or Aone5 ex CAI last week, But BA did after calling. I could not process on line.

Thanks for the heads up.

- I will fly the remaining 8 flights on the ticket in 2017
- The whole ticket cost me less than AUD5000 all-in (so about USD3,750)
- For the remaining 8 flights I calculate I will earn
- > 55,000 AAward Miles
- Just under 38,000 EQM, and
- > 6,000 EQD (so sufficient to qualify for PLT status)
and six Qantas flights which will earn me 25cents EQD per flown mile

The tool will still process some ex-CAI xONEx itineraries; I was able to book one and after it showed me the price pay for it online at the ticketing airline's web site. But it was very persnickety about the routing and flights. Many flights or cities caused it to error out instead of giving a price and telling me to call.
