I am in correspondence with AA on this - it is being looked at by them, but I have no idea how soon I will get a response, nor what the response will be of course. There has been discussion of this problem in this thread - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...periences.html

As regards getting to SEZ - you could just finish with DOH-SEZ, in other words this flight is your return to Africa. And then make your way home from there, instead of from some other place in Africa. (Always assuming you can get someone to ticket your itinerary.)
