How to book DONE4
Hello folks. Hope you can offer me some wisdom. I am trying to book a DONE4 but needless to say the booking engine didn't work online.
I was wondering if you can offer advice on who to phone to book this RTW?
Points of consideration:
1. I am UK based and am flying London-London
2. I want to pay with AMEX
3. I want to be able to select seats with oneworld sapphire status
Routing is as follows:
1. LHR-EWR (AY flight no, BA flight)
2. EWR-ORD (AA)
3. ORD-DCA (AA)
4. DCA-MIA (AA)
5. MIA-LAX (AA)
6. LAX-DFW (AA)
7. DFW-OGG (AA)
8. OGG-SYD (QF)
9. SYD-MEL (QF)
10. MEL-AKL (QF)
11. AKL-HKG (CX)
12. HKG-SIN (CX)
13. SIN-NRT (JL)
14. NRT-HKG-DXB (CX)
15. DXB-LHR (IB flight no, BA flight)
Many thanks for advice.

You will have difficulties with segment 8 as QF only flies into HNL so a surface segment in the xONEx will be needed (though I suspect you will fly HA OGG-HNL)
Which will cause difficulty with segment 14 as that is really two segments and your total number of segments will then be 17.
Happy wandering

I have some spare time this morning, so
So I think if you correct your itinerary you should be able to purchase it using the tool
Failing that, AY flies to the UK so you should be able to purchase it through one of its offices
- I made one change to your itinerary (DFW-HNL-SYD instead of DFW-OGG-SYD as per Wandering Fred's point)
- plugged it all in to the online tool
- it priced up at GBP5,724 plus taxes and surcharges of GBP1057.65 (which includes GBP700 of fuel surcharges
) - I got right through to the screen for entering credit card details

If you start in EU you will save a lot of cash in the dreaded APD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Passenger_Duty

If you use the online tool, the marketing carrier of the first flight tickets, weather they have any of their own metal flights on the ticket or not.
