Is it just me and my inexperience or is anyone else having problems booking an itinerary through the Oneworld Planner? I'm trying to run the following itinerary:
CAI-NRT-SYD-NOU-SYD-AKL-SYD-JFK-DFW-ANC-DFW-MEX-ORD-LHR-FCO-AMM (checking on Mileage Monkey for distance, it advises this it is valid) but the online tool won't let me select a flight ex CAI - just goes away and thinks about it until I hit cancel. So I tried originating in Tokyo just to check that I didn't have too many sectors and look at what flights were available, and that worked until I got to the SYD/NY flights where, again, the tool just wouldn't load the flights. I've tried loading the planner in Safari, Firefox and Chrome (I use a Mac OSX, V10.7.5) but nothing works.
I just wanted to get a ballpark pricing and an idea of what flights were available so I could ring and book the itinerary through the AA Desk, then pay for the tickets by credit card with Emeco Travel in Cairo.
Does this sound familiar to anyone else and if so, any suggestions on how to deal with it?
