I've also posted on that board. The error message now just reads "No results found."

Saw this post mentioning QR-issued tickets only have YQ/YR levied on QR and BA sectors, unsure if that's universally applicable or if I've misunderstood.
I haven't checked each single one of them but QR still doesn't charge YQ/YR on most airlines. Definitely not on CX and most (if not all) JL flights.

How do you get it ticketed on QR? Through a TA?

I'm asking as I'm based in ARN and would like to start my RTW with ARN-DOH-"somewhere in Asia", but the tool never suggests the QR flight ARN-DOH as it says the first flight can't be with QR.

The tool won't allow QR as the first flight but a TA or, indeed, the AA RTW desk, can do it easily. Sorry, but why would you start ARN-DOH on QR when you could save a LOT of money with a hop to OSL and take QR to DOH from there?

Thanks for quick reply and confirmation of my thoughts.

Thank you, I'm aware of that but there it was the same issue OSL-DOH-"somewhere in Asia" was not bookable on QR through the tool. So for the purpose of my question it didn't matter.

The tool has load of bugs in it, you can safely ignore that. Just go through a travel agent or the AA RTW desk, it's about $1000 cheaper from OSL than ARN, and you can use QR as the first segment that way. If you book in the tool, whether from OSL or ARN you'll still need BA, AY, or IB as your first carrier, I guess from ARN there's RJ as well which is probably how you're getting a price but be aware they cancel the BKK flight very frequently (if it's even running again now, was cancelled for quite a while over the summer) and it's a 3rd tier airline, worse even than BA.

Interesting.
Early September, I did MIA-DOH on AA8137 operated by QR.
Lots of date changes prior and Im pretty AA RTW desk always made it a codeshare.

I have a BA-issued DONE3. I'm considering changing one of the segments from a BA code (as ticketed) to the JL code share when D class for the latter becomes available. My question isn't about use of code shares - my itinerary features several of them, though I acknowledge others have reported difficulty booking these. My question is about the consequent change (in my favor) for YR/YQ charges - JL's are about half those of BA. At re-issue will that mean I receive a small refund?

There should be no Explorer change fee, as I'm not changing the ticketed points, though I half expect BA to impose a service fee for the change.

I've never bought one from BA, I buy mine from AA. AA does refund if the total cost is less.

Along these same lines , I recently changed my routing , stops and carriers with an AA ticketed DONE5. There are lots of posts on surcharges , taxes etc. and if they are done correctly. I had all the data from my orignal ticket. The new carriers had lower surcharges and the stops less local fees. I calculated all would be @ $ 117 less than original ticket. AA came back as I owed them $ 6 when the $125 fee was imposed. IMHO AA is the place to ticket if you can.

To answer my own earlier question (#3071), in case the information is helpful to someone else.

I managed to get through to the agent who originally booked my ticket. D class grabbed for the code share, change made and within an hour confirmation that taxes had been recalculated 115 in my favour. No change or service fee.

Glad I could reach this agent, as a colleague of his who I spoke to earlier told me there was no D class availability. Sometimes it pays to HUACA.

DONEx out of Manila???

Has anyone had recent experience with DONEx flights starting in MNL, as to availability of flights and current starter prices?
