Total noob at RTW planning, but I’m intrigued by its potential to get some serious travel done when we finally get through the trials and tribulations of the last year and a bit.

I've played a bit with the tool and yes, I have seen the “call airline x to price” error multiple times

As I played with tool, I’ve noticed that by starting in YVR, the fare is quite a bit cheaper vs a US starting point. I had a 15 segment journey, so I thought I would add a start point of YVR and add a segment down to LAX to make use of the cheaper ticket. The issue is that the default option the tool picks for segment 2 departs ONT, rather than LAX, so it burns another segment and calculates 17 segments in my itinerary and will not price. If I drop my very last home segment, I get back to 16 segments, which drops down to 15 segments when I opt to depart segment 2 from LAX rather than ONT (flights depart within 5 mins of each other) but can’t see to add back my final home segment to get me back to the full allotment of 16 segments.

Anyone have a work around?

TIA
