I have just had AA RTW desk put together a DCIR22 for me HKG-LAX-BNE,SYD-NRT,KIX-HKG and am waiting until the GSA opens again to try and pay for it. The price came to HKD43469.

Given that I cannot go in to the office, I was anxious that I cannot pay over the phone. After reading through 14 pages of this thread to find the answer as to whether AA HKG office will take payment without being there in person, I am glad that the earlier reports answering the question in the negative appear to be no longer current. I will report back next week to share whether I was successful or not.

I will add that CX will ticket over the phone and, based on where in my conversation I ended up with QF, it also seems like they will ticket over the phone too. (Indeed I have never had an issue with QF not ticketing over the phone.) I suspect, however, that their pricing will be higher than that quoted by AA.
