IIRC, the ATW desk is not open at the weekend. Also, purchasing a RTW ticket from AA is a three-step process - set it up with the ATW desk, it then goes to the Pricing Department who price it up, then you phone back in to pay for it. It is unlikely that your itinerary would be priced over the weekend.

As we've said before, once you have taken the first flight then making changes is easy. Changes to ticketed points will incur the USD125 change fee, plus any upward adjustment to the taxes, fees and charges (a downward adjustment would result in a refund to you).

The booking systems can only see so far into the future. When I set up my DONE6 two days ago, AA was only able to see up to June 23rd, 2017.

QR is the only Oneworld carrier that flies to SEZ.

Really? Interesting. I'll read through the other thread a bit more- thank you. I wonder if it work if I just reversed my route? Thanks!

Again, thank you for this helpful info. I guess all I can do is hope for the best and give them a call first thing Monday morning. I'll update here as soon as I know more.

good luck. it is not that easy to setup and,book a rtw. it took me over 2 weeks for my first done3 via email. but all my done have 16 segments with a lot of miles and low yq.

Not my experience, ever.
For my latest DONE6, just three days ago:That was the third xONEx I have bought from AA - the other two were as easy to do as the one described above.

Now, if only AA would interpret the backtracking rules correctly...

My recollection is that it is not. If you find that it is, please let us know!! I'll have mine done (i.e., planned out) in time to book on Sunday, hopefully avoiding the price increase risk for Monday.

Depending on the airline and booking system, flights are only loaded for booking a set time out which can be anywhere between 3 months and 11.5 months. In most cases, it is between 330 and 353 days.

This can be an issue in some cases if you're planning ahead or using the full validity period of the ticket. You might book a trip today to start next June. The ticket would be valid for 12 months from that departure date, but flights are currently only available for booking until July 17.

I thought it was, with reduced hours on the weekends.
However I haven't used the RTW desk since 2009, so the hours could have changed.

reduced hour on sat and closed on sun

It looks like I'll have three itineraries ready to go on Monday morning (EDT) assuming that a price increase does not hit.

u fly 3 rtw in one (or 2) years ex mpm? impressive

It is, I've rung on a Sunday as recently as a week ago and will be calling later today. Hours I have in my Skype saved "name" for the RTW from a few years back: Central Time: 7am to 8pm Mon-Fri, 9am to 5.30pm Sat/Sun.

Oh, though there's only one agent on a Sunday evening at least plus the rate desk aren't there though if it's urgent they may try and rustle something.

there is a seperate rate desk for rtw.

I have a problem with QF system and my current DONE5 ticket. I can't check the booking at QF website, add the seat or meal reservation to QF segments, even on the phone. Tried phoning to AA and QF with no success with seat or meal reservation.

QF agent said, that the problem is caused by multiple e-ticket numbers on the same ticket, according to him, their systems support only one e-ticket number per booking reference.

I made two changes before on the way, thus my e-ticket got reissued twice. The old e-ticket numbers still appear in the booking. Moreover, latest e-ticket number appears twice, with 15 digits for non-QF segments and with 13 digits for QF segments. Also JL segment does not have the e-ticket number attached at all.

Ticket is issued on AA stock by AA RTW desk. According to AA RTW desk, they need to keep old e-ticket numbers attached to booking and my booking should be ok now.

Week ago, QR cancelled one segment because no e-ticket number was attached. Luckily, there was still availability and AA PLT desk was able to fix that, but she needed to manually call to QR to confirm the segment, so that QR won't cancel it again.

So how those e-ticket numbers really should be in Amadeus? Any ideas, what to try next to get the issue fixed, as both AA and QF are saying that issue should be handled with the other airline? Would it be safe to get the old e-ticket numbers removed from the reservation by other airline than ticketing airline?
