4th AA RTW issued by mindpearl in February at JNB Flights taken JNB-SYD etc-LAX-JFk etc - now I have 4 legs left JFK-LHR-BAH-LHR-JNB. My original bookings in July were not taken so I want reservations for next week Plenty of A available on BA176 or BA114 but AA insists on booking AA flight at a similar time for the transatlantic leg. The LHR-BAH-LHR-JNB is all done on the BA flights I requested it is just the transatlantic leg thats not what I want.

I called BA GGL who referred me to BA RTW who said they could reserve BA176 as there is a9 wide open but I still had to get AA to reissue the ticket.

Apart from the fact that I would have to credit the flight to my secondary OW card my QF card I would prefer the Tier points and miles on BA and less hassle going from AA T3? to T5 at LHR.

Is this a new AA policy and is it valid under OW rules.
