RTW OW YVR to LAX/SFO
Hey everyone, not sure if this is the right thread, but I wonder if any of you have had any problems on the OW RTW booking tool online trying to book a segment from Vancouver to either LA or SanFran? Its strange as it comes up with "Sorry, we couldn't find any flights that match, try expanding your criteria" which is strange as AA fly there! Any ideas or explanations would be much appreciated!
Thanks
Thanks

No, AA doesn't fly those routes. AA puts its flight numbers on aircraft operated by Alaska Airlines (called a "codeshare" agreement) which are ineligible for the Oneworld Explorer RTW product.
If your itinerary works, however, you can use Alaska Airlines (AS) with the Global Explorer RTW product.
Otherwise, it's either a surface segment or requires two flights, e.g. YVR-DFW-SFO/LAX. It's one of several huge gaps (intra-Canada being another) in Oneworld's N. America coverage.

Hey Thanks alot for that, I was scratching my head for a while...haha you can tell I am very new to this.
I am flying in from HKG on Cathay, so I will try as you said in two segments or just do a surface segment and sort it out myself!
Thanks for the advice...much appreciated!
