I am not using Qantas again. I once mistakenly used Qantas for an rtw. Never in any circumstances again.

Is this a new ticket in the process of being issued? Or an existing ticket. Full details matter - help.
Simple change of routing - should cost $125. They had no clue what they were doing and frequently blamed each other.

Can you try and get AA to take over the ticket?

It's threads like these that make me glad I used an agent with knowledge of these tickets. Currently enjoying row 1 on a JAL 787, sector 5 of my DONE4.

I used nufnuf who was even able to book seats and use code shares to maximise tier points and fare masking on AA/BA flights.

There's no way to DIY that. The very reasonable fee I paid has more than paid for itself in convenience and airline specific added charges/taxes.

Thanks to anyone who might know.
