Currently trying to make date change for a DONEx. On EF, I saw schedule up to Dec 19, 2026.
Before calling AA RTW desk, thought I'd ask it here first. Is it possible to actually book flight for that date? TIA |

Thanks - good to know that its (generally) quiet at 1430. I appreciate that I currently have 4 hours with the "new" schedule but an extra 1 hr 15 mins will be better especially as I really need to be in Perth the next day (but not life and death).

On the topic of JL availability, does anyone know why a JL flight that appears to be wide open (D9) both on EF and to the AA RTW desk would come back "unconfirmed" every time they tried to book it? I've been trying to switch from JL38 to JL36 for months with no success, and with the departure date approaching (February) the situation seems unlikely to improve.
I suspected it might be a POC thing but that doesn't explain why the agents are seeing availability only to then fail to book the flight... |

Cool.
First flight was Nov 29, 2025. All flights must depart within a year. |

I tried to get SYD-HND-JFK on JL using several combinations of different dates, stopovers at HND, and transits at HND. Granted it was mid-November and I was looking at late March, so RTW D inventory may have been long gone. I was able to get SYD-HND on JL for a few dates over the latter half of March, but HND-JFK on JL was a no go for that entire timeframe. Plenty of availability on AA metal though.
If anyone else is an EF subscriber, do please send them an email asking if POC can be added to its development backlog. I don't know whether it's even technically feasible for it to achieve. |

Not sure if you are aware but QF has recently recommenced the JNB-PER flights (3 x week) and AKL? Maybe QF has finally realised that PER flyers do want to go other intl destinations than just Europe.
BTW, re my last post - (the FJ5252 one) - BA did move me back to the 1945 and now on QF655 (original flight but not on the code share portion) - so a good result |

Airlines are playing with inventory based on Point of Commencement (POC), not on RTW per se. The origin of the 1st sector in your PNR sets the POC. EF does not have the ability to display availability based on POC but only Point of Sale (POS), which is less relevant these days.

An email from EF confirms this is on its backlog and it hopes to offer this functionality sometime in 2026.

3 or 4 continents?
Hi experts... wondering if I am looking at a DONE3 or DONE4 for this type of routing?
OSL/HEL/LHR/PER/MEL/SYD/TBU/SYD/LAX/ATL/JFK/OSL OSL/DOH(nostop)/PER/MEL/SYD/TBU/SYD/LAX/ATL/JFK/OSL essentially can you use QF10 LHR to PER and if flying QR does viaDOH add a continent if not stopping over? Thanks for your help!!! |

Thanks for your help!!! The continent of Europe-Middle East consists of 2 zones: - Europe (including Algeria, Morocco, Russia west of the Urals and Tunisia) - Middle East (including Egypt, Libya and Sudan) (...) Travel between South West Pacific and Europe/Middle East on a single flight number/or by surface eg LON-SYD/MEL/PER vv, DOH-ADL/AKL/CBR/MEL/PER/SYD vv, is considered travelling via Asia. Continents South West Pacific, Asia and Europe/Middle East must each be counted. |

They're both DONE4.

There's plenty of ambiguous wording in the rules, but the answer is clearly yes based on the fare rules I quoted:

It even cites the specific example of travelling on a direct LON-PER flight. It doesn't really get clearer than that. |
