I made sure everything was valid and got pricing with the online tool, but when I went to pay for it I ran into the apparently standard RJ-AA online booking bug. I'm not just starting and ending in Amman for the low price either, I have close friends and family there, and I'm trying to avoid the US because the whole point of this trip is to get out of the states for a while. So I do wan't this ticket, and I'm curious what's the best way to go about trying to book it? I've seen advice about trying to book through the Cairo office (would this require a Cairo issued credit card or not? I've read mixed things), and others saying to try to get a friendly AA US operator and see if you can't talk them into it, but I'm wondering if anyone had anything they new was working. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks guys!
If you have close friends and family in Jordan have you asked them to inquire around about a travel agent yet? They may be able to find one that will be receptive. Other people have reported that they have booked through Emeco (the AA GSA) in CAI. See this thread:

*they answer "American Airlines"; I don't know their formal relationship. When they issue a ticket it does show up on aa.com quickly.
They (Mindpearl) are the official AA GSA for South Africa.
