I was booking a fairly simple DONE3 last night and had problems with CX and JAL (less so than AA for a change).
  • CX JFK-HKG: D9s across the board for a Monday flight, no go, had to go on Tuesday
  • CX HKG-MAN: D2 showing, in the past CX used to block the D1 seat from DONE, but allow D2 to book. Not this time, had to route via LHR
  • JAL: Were better, I was able to select a D1 flight NRT-HKG in about a week, but wasn't able to select the domestic leg that was also showing as D1 with domestic connections on EF, so wasn't a married segment issue
  • However, AA were good, was able to book: LHR-DFW (new B78P), DFW-LAX, LAX-JFK (new A32Q/321XLR) within a 24 hour period with no married segment issues.
which carrier did you book through? Does it make a difference for availability?
