God... After countless hours (probably close to 100 hrs) on the phone throughout the past 7 days or so (I only have Aeroplan Black which as the same as no status), and talked to many different agents...
I am finally happy to report that I made our first (kinda) true mRTW Post-Amadeus segment by segment for later this year...
No crazy criss-cross, but still technically around the world so to speak.
YVR - YUL = AC (20 hrs Layover)
YUL - ZRH = LX (10 hrs layover)
ZRH - VIE = LX (18 hrs layover)
VIE - ATH = Aegean (Stop)
ATH - IST = TK (12 hrs layover)
IST - SIN = TK 787-9 (12 hrs layover)
SIN - CGK = SQ (Destination)
CGK - SIN = SQ (18 hrs layover)
SIN - TPE = SQ (16 hrs layover)
TPE - PEK = BR (3 hrs layover)
PEK - YVR = AC
Will try to look another segment from TPE - YVR direct later but we're very happy with this itinerary (basically every segment is what we put down as note & already have in mind)
Total fee per person ~$460

We booked the following over the website just before Christmas for travel in fall 2020. The will be our tenth year of an annual mini rtw trip thanks to Flyertalk. We’ll spend time in Morocco, Jordan and Israel.I initially tried to book via the call center several times and despite the fact that the required flight availability showing on Aeroplan, United and expertflyer, the Aeroplan agents couldn’t get it booked.
By choice, 1 ticket ex ex yvr and 1 ticket is ex yyz. All in J except yyz-yvr
Yvr-yyz ac
Yyz-lis tp
lis-cmn tp stop
cmn-ist tk 2:10 to connect
ist-tlv tk stop
tlv-waw lo 2:20 to connect
waw-yyz lo
yyz-yvr ac
$290 and $330 in fees.
I checked Aeroplan yesterday and saw a flight change I was previously unaware of switching yyz-lis to tap on the a330-900 neo, the lis to cmn leg has been moved to Y. Flight times quite similar to original bookings. Looks like tp yyz-lis should be better than ac?
I would have much preferred an OJ into either TLV or AMN and departing from the other, but of course the new rules only allow 2 stops or 1 open jaw. Looks like the ac yyz-lis flight on our preferred day of travel has been cancelled. No interest in spending time in IST this time around, stopped there in 2019. Also, yul-cmn on ac doesn’t work for us, wrong days of the week for our plans. Ist-yyz or yvr on tk would be great.
Comments/feedback welcome on the routing and/or ways to improve given the change.

We may have to start a version of this thread with the suffix "post-Amadeus".

Just a lot of HUCA'ing? Or some specific method / wording you used with the agent to get it done?
Either way sounds like persistence paid off!

July - August period this year =)
It's just lots of patients, perseverances & HUCA lol..
Close to 70 Hours of waiting time (tried since November 2019). Talked to 7-10 different agents til there I got a super nice agent from montreal who willing to book and (successfully booked it!)
No specific method/words, Good luck for everyone!!

YYZ-LIS on AC would not have been in J in the first place since that's a Rouge flight.

Any luck on re-scheduling already booked mini rtws with 3 stops to continue to feed segments to the agents? I wanna move a segement to avoid a layover in PEK in June. Don't really want to wait around for so many hours with the agents if they can't do much lol and also don't wanna pay the change fee if possible given I would be denied entry into Australia having layed over in PEK.
Currently:
CPH-PEK
PEK-SIN
SIN-PER
Want to change it to:
CPH-VIE (22 hr layover)
VIE-MUC
MUC-IST (5 hour layover to enjoy the new lounge)
IST-SIN (new 787 hard product)
SIN-PER
Could also swap around and make ZRH-SIN longest leg on LX but already have YUL-ZRH so hoping to try diff product.
Thanks for the help!

When I left a couple weeks ago it was
YVR-AC-HKG-TG-BKK-TG-PER-SA-JNB-SA-GRU-AC-YUL-AC-YEG-AC-YVR
The coronacircus forced me into an early return and missing out on South Africa.
When I changed our flights a few days ago, it took about 5 minutes to get through......50K line at about 8:00EDT.
It took an hour to sort out the first reroute.
While I was on hold getting ticketed, I discovered that the connection in LOS might need a transit Visa.
Spend the next two hours getting rerouted and ticketed.....
PER-TG-BKK-TG-HND-NH-YVR
Sure is quiet here at HND.

Looks good.
J on BR is a great way to end a trip.
So the agent accepted the itinerary as you provided it?
cheers
