Yes, I'd called because they never sent a confirmation and receipt email and I couldn't find what I recalled might be a matching amount on any of the three credit cards I would have been likely to use. I actually have 5 ticket numbers and they submitted 5 separate payments that totaled the price I was quoted! I haven't run them through American's "find your receipt" in the FAQs, but I trust they are there now. I mentioned I'm considering booking another for the trip home and that's when she said she'd heard they aren't offering any ex Cairo Explorer fares. I don't know why since, with the carrier imposed fees it brings it up to close to ex Tokyo. The oneworld carriers serving Cairo are, Royal Air Maroc, Qatar, British Airlways, and Royal Jordanian. According to Expert Flyer, BA and AT do not offer the fare, Qatar is a little higher than the others, and RJ is the same as the two other OW carriers I plugged in just for interest, AA and QF at just over $4K. So, Expert Flyer hasn't stopped pricing for American so far, FWIW.
