AA must have at least one long haul international sector before they will fare price the ticket for issue. ie Europe to US or US to Asia/Sth America. please note that AA ticketing agents themselves cannot issue international tickets without referring to the AA International Rate Desk. If you're hoping to issue a ticket on the spot, think again. My reissue alone once took more than an hour because AA must call the International Rate Desk for fares approval - even if it is for a RTW ticket.
