this is leading to a big worry. since i have A fare that is booked to J. but LA does not have earning on A class....

In case something happens I think you have every right to ask for retro-claim / adjustment as you are booked in J.

it will be hassle to deal with it. I think it is not only happening on AA, also on BA and AS. so basically, AONEx will post as A class on any airline and it will be work to sort them out.
glad to know that I need to keep an eye on this issue before flying so that I can take pictures on all boarding passes.

Thanks to [MENTION=40177]anabolism[/MENTION] and [MENTION=648695]Calchas[/MENTION] for clarifying. I'll buy a one way ticket separately, The OW ticket is pretty flexible so if by some chance I miss the connection Im happy to change.

I will be booking it through BA, will I get any success of adding the separate ticketed flight into the same PNR as the OW RTW?

Another question.

The flights I want are not coming up on the OW website booking portal

Is it because those flights don't have the correct fare category available?

EDIT: Having checked Expert flyer both flights I want to find have enough seats in the D fare class.

Can anyone highlight why the OW website wont bring them up?

The point of sale you specify in expertflyer can affect availability (that means that carriers often have different availability based upon where you purchase the ticket). Without details it is difficult to explain why you are seeing what you are seeing other than the oneworld online booking engine is buggy.

On the 14/02/18 I want to fly AA5336 YYZ-CLT and then AA5187 CLT-SDF on the same day.

The first flight it will only give me flights with connections, nor the first direct flight of the day and the second flight it wont bring up an evening departure.

You need to search for YYZ-SDF on EF. AA has gotten bad about D availability on connections. Their married segment logic is getting as bad as QR.

If the separate segments you want are on AA, BA might not be able to price it. Therefore, you might want to book your RTW with AA instead.

EF shows me the poster's desired flights with D availability as a connection on the poster's specified date. I only checked US and HKG points of sale, though, since the poster never clarified which point of sale applied.

Why would BA be unable to price an RTW with AA North American segments? That sounds very unlikely. BA typically requires that the first intercontinental flight have a BA code, but why would BA have an issue with AA segments within a continent?

We need to know more about their routing. In dealing with my exSEZ rerouting I've seen some crazy things with availability. EF showing D was there, but when put into a full itinerary it would come back as D0.

I haven't seen that, myself. You mean a set of flights shows D available but when part of an RTW and with more than 24 hours before and after, D is not available?
