RJ DONE booking class
Know the answer should be obvious from the thread title, but I can't seem to figure this out.
Trying to reserve DXB-AMM as part of a ticketed DONE5 next April 17th. Availability on the route looks fairly slim, but we thought we had a winner on this day. EF shows J9 C9 D9 on RJ 613. However, the AA RTW desk can't see any availability. Before they could find one seat, but not two together.
What's going on? Does EF not work for Royal Jordanian?

Something's amiss. Literally when I checked earlier this evening and last week, RJ613 was D9 - thats the reason I chose 4/17. Also confirmed this on the RJ site (flight was bookable in D).
Still comes up as such if I try to book on RJ.com (in fact for either flight):
Fare restrictions
From: Dubai
Operator: Royal Jordanian
Fare code: DLEEAE
Please refer to Royal Jordanian rules for fare code DLEEAE
between Amman - Queen Alia International and Dubai

This looks like the usual POS issue. KVS Sabre/ITN (using UK POS) shows:
[KVS Availability Tool 3.2.0/Platinum - Sabre: ITN/UK-ASB]
Looking at Worldspan (with a US POS), there's no D availability on that date:
[KVS Availability Tool 3.2.0/Platinum - WSpan: ITN/US-TAP]
It's possible that a Jordanian POS could give you 2 D-bucket seats on that day. It might be worth calling RJ reservations to see. Try +962 6 5100000 on Skype.
The following day, with a US POS, we get D9, but only D1 for UK POS. Bizarre, certainly, but Revenue Management is clearly a very dark art.
