Call AA reservations (or the number on your Aadvantage membership card) and ask to be transfered to the Around-the-World desk.

The funny thing is that the online system have quoted me different prices for the same itinerary

FWIW I booked two tickets out of KRT, one with the online tool while I was in Canada and one with AA by phone. The itineraries were almost the same and the ticket by phone priced in CAD turned out to be $1000 cheaper than the one booked online which was priced in USD, YMMV. It would appear that they were using different exchange rates for SDG.

After reading this thread out of curiousity, other than providing food aid, doing something diplomatic or visiting relatives, why would anyone want to visit this airport?? Particularly the comments on Sleepinthe airport. Wow! Forget about third world, this sounds like sixth world ! The airport sounds like the airport and nation that Christopher Walken went through in the movie Dogs of War.

Can anyone confirm if they have found a way to buy an ex-KRT xONEx recently?
I will visit Sudan as a tourist in the coming weeks and would like to start a DONE4 when there.
Has the online tool worked for this (not in Canada), or has anyone found an agent in Sudan or elsewhere that can book for the right price?
Also, what is the pricing rule when you start/finish the ticket in different ME countries? I know Sudan will be accepted as a ME location for this, but when I price online it changes the base fare dramatically if ending elsewhere, and can only get the proper Sudan fare if starting and ending in KRT in seems. Is this right, or could this be re-routed later for the same base fare?

As for issuing in KRT, RJ has an office there:

Also this link seems to suggest that CX has (or had) a gsa there:

As tauphi related in this thread:

the tool would accept a ME end but the tool would fail when he tried to issue a ticket.

So were you able to actually issue an xonex using the tool with this routing?

If I price out an AONE5 KRT-AMM-......AMM-KRT online I get a price of $US8923 + $1385 taxes. The base price corresponds to the price given on EF. If I price the same ex-KRT itinerary but drop the last segment and end in AMM it tells me it is a vald itinerary but I get quoted $US13531 + $1623 taxes. The $US13531 doesn't correspond to the base price in any country on the itinerary.

Thanks for responses on this. As others have reported, I also cannot get the tool to issue this. I will try and set up with the RTW desk and ticket in Canada - will report if that works!
I have seen the same as 3544quebec reports with different fares for different ME end points. My reading of the rules is that it should depend on country of origination/sale - I can't see anything specific for the cases where you can end in different countries. Does anyone with more detailed knowledge of the rules know what this should be? I may try to issue with start and end in KRT, then change after, but would not want the fare to be increased!
