I found a nice routing to Australia but the segments include AC for yvr-syd and nrt-yyz so the "fuel surcharge" comes to $700

I've found some amazing mini-RTW routings. Everytime I go to book I get:
Unfortunately, the itinerary you requested is not available. Please select alternative flights.
Fired off a few AC J RT's in North America. Even with the YQ, 25k in J is a steal.

I've been trying to use the "new and improved" booking tool for two hours trying to book a trip for 2 adults and 2 kids from YOW-PTY through EWR and it's almost impossible to find even an economy booking that doesn't have 3 stops on the way back. So sick of this bullish. I've got 273k miles that I want to get rid of and I can't even find options that I KNOW exist and have space on AP's useless website. I hope all of you get the bookings you are looking for, and I hope heads roll at AP for this early Xmas present.

Just booked a mini RTW in J for 75K +$300 & change. Yay!

YVR-PEK-SIN-IST-CPH-YYZ-YVR

The reservation now says "YOUR RESERVATION IS INCOMPLETE
Airport taxes, fees and surcharges were unavailable at the time of your online booking and must be calculated manually. To complete your reservation call 1-800-361-5373 within 24hrs of your booking."

Will the agent catch the glitch and recalculate? I already paid the stated taxes and fees.

Hi, I'm new here; thanks for making this possible!

I got a (tenative) fare from

YVR - HKG via NRT on AC J and NH J
HKG - JFK via FRA on SQ J and LH J

I don't actually have a tix # tho, gotta call in to find surcharge info.
Shouldn't be more than 700 rite? And if it falls through I still get refund rite>
