They then have to send it out for pricing, now done in Dallas since the tariff office in Dublin closed a few months ago; they say it usually takes one day, but it came back a few hours later. Surprisingly, their price, after converting to US$, was about US$200 less than what the online tool was quoting.
I then emailed the record locator and my credit card info to Naeem Thaver at Gala Travels in Ontario. A few hours later it was ticketed and he sent me a confirmation email, and of course you can view it on aa.com. Their fee is CAD75 + tax but it's well worth it for what you save. I booked a DONE4 starting in Khartoum in December this year, but I was so thrilled at the price (US$3512 incl all taxes and fees) that I decided to book an AONE3 to start at the end of the DONE4 in April 2013!
Awesome NDFan ! Thanks.
I'm currently booking a DONE4 with my girlfriend leaving early November ex KRT as well. Your post has been more than useful. Thanks.
Seeing the price we were thinking of getting an AONE4 after that as well

Is it worth getting now and not in a year ?
I live in Paris France, do you think I should through Canada as well ? (exchange rate is pretty good too)
I'll update here if I learn anything new in the process of buying the ticket.
