Here is my last booking that I could add to and maybe start a new thread:
Booked Nov 11 2024 , Start date Mar 17 2025 Booked with AA RTW desk
OSL x HEL DFW ANC DFW YUL DFW PBI DFW ICN x HKD MNL x DOH ATH MAD OSL
with dummy dates. Cost was $4787 + fees of approx $720 so $5517 each. DONE3.
Posts of just examples would be helpful then other threads could be used to ask questions. Right now finding actual good routes is hard. I know I saw a route that optimized QR booking but I can't find it now. Anyone care to post it?
So I called to make the changes to the above booking. Changed DFW PBI DFW to DFW SJO DFW (stayed all on AA); ICN xHKG MNL to ICN KUL MNL ( carrier change from CS to MH); and ATH MAD OSL to ATH OSL (carrier change IB to QR).
The fees went up $315.44 then add the change fee of $125. I think change to SJO i.e. Costa Rica added about $93 in fees. But I can't figure out the rest of the fee changes. I already had QR for the MNL xDOH ATH and thought adding another QR would not be too costly - was that wrong?
Any guesses welcome.
The AA RTW desk could not see any breakdown of the fees. I asked how long I had to decide what to do and she said maybe until tomorrow. Then I asked what happened if I hadn't called back. She said the changes would be cancelled. I asked if the ticket would go back as before and she said no, the changed flights would just be cancelled and the rest would stay the same. Is that correct? I do plan to call back in a few hours.
Oh bother. I wish I were more clever....
Thanks.
