No long haul AA. DOH-ORD on QR is AA code share as A was only available on AA code share, not available of QR flight number. I also am doing CX JFK-HKG as AA code share.
EGE is supposed to be EGE as that is my second home. Not to mention EZE would make it a AONE5, which it is not.

Is this due to a temporary A380 substitution on the route --- and if so, what expectation do you have about what will occur if QR reverts to its usual 2-cabin B777 on the date of your flight?
Are involuntary cabin downgrades ever reimbursed or compensated on AONEx tickets --- and if so, who do you think that you would receive it from (i.e. QR, who would not sell you the "A" ticket on that sector, or AA)?
TIA for your thoughts.

Maybe we should start another thread titled "Another DONEx originating MPM
or better yet put the posts about these tickets in the new custom-purpose thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...periences.html
(where I hope to be posting tomorrow

I am still a little confused by the rules about transiting through Europe/Middle East twice. Would the following be a valid itinerary:
MPM-xDOH-LAX-JFK-SCL-IPC-SCL-GIG-xJFK-HKG-CMB-NRT-LHR-ATH-MAD-DOH-CPT
Any advice welcome.
MPM-xDOH-LAX-JFK-SCL-IPC-SCL-GIG-xJFK-HKG-CMB-NRT-LHR-ATH-MAD-DOH-CPT
Any advice welcome.

I'm curious about the "A" class booking on the DOH - ORD route.

My flight is not until the end of the year and is supposed to be a 77W. I'll keep an eye on it now that you've brought it to my attention and if it changes, I'll change to A.

I am about to book my DONE5 for next year and the ONE WORLD booking tool price was horrific something like 124000 ZAR per person ex JNB which is a huge jump on last years ticketing...Will call RTW desk in AA in Dallas and see what they price it at

A few years ago I had an AGLOBxx ticket with a CX sector booked / confirmed in A. Booking and ticketing was by CX. Due to an aircraft sub I ended up in Business. CX refused any compensation stating that I could be put in a lower class without compensation. I didn't fight it as it was only a short flight

If you go back and read the posts in this thread from June 3 you'll find the prices ex-SA have increased by about 50%. If you want the former SA fares, they're still available from ex-WDH or even better prices ex-MPM. Read the last few pages of posts as there is a lot of good info.
