Also I want this ticketed on AA stock so can I book using the oneworld online tool (never used it before) or do I have to do it by calling the AA RTW desk?
As always appreciate the help.
You have a number of problems:
- no OW service YVR-ORD
- YYZ-xORD-YVR: IIRC you cannot travel Canadian Port- Transit US Port - Canadian Port - something about US carriers carrying passengers between Canadian ports
- YVR-JFK and JFK-LAX are two transcontinental flights - you're only allowed one (you could instead fly JFK-SYD on QF108)
- SYD-xJNB-CPT - you cannot travel via the point of origin (JNB); you can instead start from from CPT, then xJNB-CPT at the end is fine
- Using the online tool - the ticketing carrier will be the first carrier - i.e. BA
If you were connecting in London to an AA flight, then you could maybe ticket with them by selecting their codeshare on the JNB-LHR BA flight - but IIRC there are issues with the online tool when you try to select a codeshare flight as the first flight
- you could ticket with AA via the RTW desk. Assuming you want to pay the ex Sth Africa price for your DONE4, you'll then have to purchase your ticket in Sth Africa. IIRC Mindpearl is the AA agent there- do a search in this forum
