Availability showing on Expert Flyer and the AA RTW desk person could see it too, but they said they couldn't make the change as Cathay weren't confirming the seat/booking he was trying to do, or something like that.

Anyone have any experience with this or know what I could do? My current booking it leaving me with a 20 hour overnight layover that I don't want or need, so I'd really like to make the change before availability is gone (currently D5 on Expert Flyer).

Thanks!
We have just started a DONE5 and flying BOM-HKG-JFK. When we booked (almost a year ahead) Cathay would not let us book (through a travel agent) unless we had a stopover in HKG (one night). Like you we did not want the stop (has to be 24 hours as I understand) and there was availability.
