Hi again,

Thanks to you all for the advice/answers! An update for anyone whose interested is that I have (after speaking with a very helpful and friendly agent named Dalia at EMECO) spoken to the AA RTW (1-800-247-3247) desk and resevered a valid LONE4 ex-CAI. I then (as directed) emailed by PNR to EMECO and am currently awaiting to hear back (unfortunately they are closed on Fridays). Just as someone else has mentioned, they offered to mail my ticket to me at their expense.

One other thing I must say is that the AA RTW desk agent (Michael) that I spoke with was also very helpful and accomodating. He confirmed that the fare ex-CAI is still unchanged and that he didn't know when it would go up.
