Yep, and good for people to know. I'd add that you can get priced while you wait (often a good while) on the phone if you fly soon (more likely for a change to an existing ticket of course).

When pricing to explore the impact of routings I looked up a dozen similar routes. Maybe it's just me but I would not feel comfortable asking for those at the same time, or even one after the other as edits which would take a fortnight elapsed but would at least save the hour-ish on phone set up from scratch can take.

If you have your route nailed, or nearly so, and are focused on ticketing then I would certainly say call AA unless you know what you're doing and have a good reason to ticket elsewhere.

I'm not planning on booking any of the routings shared by others or even (exactly) my pricing experiment routes. I'm finding them useful to see them priced though and hope people keep sharing.
