I'll need to call the EXP desk while on my next trip to HK as I'll tip over to EXP on the outbound segment and I'd like to call them and use (or try to use) a SWU for the return portion.

Any pointers on how to get ahold of the EXP desk from HK would be greatly appreciated. Local number, tricks to calling an 800#, etc. I've also heard of people tweeting AA and getting results - any pointers on that would be appreciated as well.

Many thanks,

I have called the EXP Desk multiple times from Hong Kong, most recently a week ago. I have no issues if I dial +1 then EXP 800 number. Otherwise the call fails. As mentioned by others, there might be other ways, but this guarantees getting the EXP desk.
