Any way to look up OneWorld flight availability??
 
Getting extremely frustrated spending hours on the phone trying to book a flight for a month off work. Trying to somehow get:

DFW-HKG-SIN-DPS-CGK-CNS-SYD-DFW

I realize it takes a lot to look these up for the aa customer service people, however I would much rather be able to do this myself just like on aa.com for AA flights so I can see all my options easily.

Any help?? I have a ticket with perfect dates/times on hold, however it expires tomorrow night at midnight and we won't have a 50k bonus in my wife's account by then to book our held itinerary :(

Expert Flyer ??
What class - fare bucket ?
Are these paid or award flights ?
Or a Oneworld circle ticket ?

Also Oneworld airlines have diferent reservation systems that do not talk to each other perfectly
We need more information to be able to help

I don't get how you can get to these places without backtracking a lot on Oneworld carriers.

DFW-HKG: need to go via NRT on AA+JL/CX, or via LAX/SFO/JFK/YVR/YYZ on AA+CX
HKG-SIN: no problem on CX
SIN-DPS: you need to backtrack to HKG, SIN-(HKG)-DPS
DPS-CGK: same as above, need to go back to HKG, or open-jaw between two cities
CGK-CNS: need to go via HKG on CX, or via SYD on QF
CNS-SYD: direct QF domestic flight
SYD-DFW: transit at LAX on AA

We're hoping to do a business class 20-25k OneWorld via 150k AA miles.

On hold right now we have:

AA: DFW-LAX
CX: LAX-HKG
CX: HKG-SIN
Open-Jaw (cheap purchased flight from Indonesia AirAsia for SIN-DPS, DPS-CGK)
QF: CGK-SYD-CNS
QF: CNS-BNE-SYD
QF: SYD-AKL-LAX
AA: LAX-DFW


I just found the KVS tool last night and tried to sign up for ExpertFlyer trial, but never got the email for activation. I guess I'll try ExpertFlyer again.

Yes, sorry I should have mentioned that open-jaw with two cheap flights on Indonesia AirAsia to go SIN-DPS, and DPS-CGK.
