You should be able to, in theory. The is a bug in the tool (for at least the past 16 months) preventing such bookings from completing.
If I then call AAs RTW team they will charge me the price for starting from the UK and I will lose the advantage of the low price for starting from Sudan. However if I ask them to set it up for it to be ticketed in Canada I will pay in C$ the equivalent of $2788+taxes. Correct? Is Naseem the agent to use in Canada?
More or less.
If you ticket it over the phone with the RTW desk, or at the AA ticket counter at LHR, you will pay the UK price.
You call the RTW desk in Dallas (+1-800-247-3247, Mon-Fri 0700-2000, Sat&Sun 0900-1730 UTC-6) tell them what flights you want and say that you will be paying in Canada.
They will give you the PNR and send it to their rates desk to get priced.
You can use the PNR to look up the booking on aa.com to review it. If there are any issues, call them back to fix.
Email naeem (
[email protected]) with the PNR AA gave you.
Naeem will take control of the booking from AA and will contact you with the price. He will add his agency service fee. When I went to him last year, the fee was $75CAD.
Once he has confirmed the price, organize payment.
The taxes you get quoted via the AA desk will likely be a little more then what the tool tells you.
