I would be very careful about buying a ticket with plans to change it latter. I found that is recent years, no airline realy knows the RTW rules. Try to make the tool work, Get a record locator and ticket it with ??? ( I have two RTW tickets with BA, it took one month to make a simple change.) I would pick AA. You do not need an AA flight for them to ticket. If you get an agent who says that , try another.
The number for the AA RTW Desk is +1800 247 3247
After flying the first two segments of my current RTW ticket, I phoned the desk to change every remaining flight - a total re-route. It took 20 minutes to get it done. Phoned back 12 hours later and paid the $125 change fee plus the $43.60 in re-computed taxes, fees and charges. Ticket was re-issued 12 hours after the payment was made.
All-in-all, a very good experience
