Hello Flyertalk!

After months of planning our LONE5 itinerary we're finally ready to purchase our ticket!

We spent several hours with the online booking tool and kept getting the "Invalid Booking Class Code" error... does anybody know what this means and how to fix the problem?

Another issue we have is flight availability/calendar. Our RTW trip will be from December 2013-December 2014, but the flight calendar will only show flights up until June 2014. Is everyone else just fudging their dates at initial booking and then just changing them as the flights become available?

We haven't gotten very far with the booking tool, but we're hoping that we can pay the NZ LONE5 fare with a Canadian credit card. We're trying to avoid paying the $50/pp ticketing fee by calling the actual airline. We tried calling the AA RTW desk but the rep wasn't very nice nor helpful, esp since we don't have any AA legs, or even flying through the US.

Our intended route is:

AKL-HKG-KTM-HKG-JNB-CPT-LHR-IST-AMM-DME-MAD-GRU-LIM-SCL-IPC-SCL-AKL

Thanks in advance for all your help!
