I'll need a human in any case as I need an infant ticket, which cannot be booked online.
[BEGIN ADVICE]
- Do your homework - these recent threads will be useful http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...-ex-cairo.html and http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...rary-help.html
- Have your script written down (make it clear that you will be paying through AA's Cairo GSA and so want the Egyptian price; have all your flights numbers, origin, destination, dates ready to read out to the agent)
- Phone the AA RTW Desk (Dallas office hours) +1 800 247 3247
- Phone back 24hrs later to get the final price
- Contact GSA in Cairo to pay
[/END ADVICE]
What's the latest date of the last flight, is it 330 days from date of ticket issue?
The ticket rule is
7. Return travel from the last stopover point must commence no later than 12 months after departure
However the limitations of the booking systems must be considered. And yes if using AA to ticket then, at the time of booking, the last flight cannot be more than 330 days from the date of booking. BUT date/time changes are free of charge so what people do is to have dummy dates for the later flights in the itinerary and simply later phone AA to change them to desired dates.
