The tool is notoriously buggy, but there are some work-arounds. See this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...gs-thread.html

Usually the bugs have to do with the choice of the first airline/flight, or in many cases where one airline has taken on the task of doing RTW ticketing on behalf of another, e.g. AA on behalf of RJ - the systems barf. The tool also hasn't been updated to include reliable access to QR or UL. Many complaints have been lodged with Oneworld, the response crickets.

What's your proposed (general) itinerary?
