Thanks for the PM. I've been using Chrome across two different OS'es to try and price this out. This morning I thought I'd give Edge a shot. No dice.

Then, the itin you sent across priced fine.

Strange.

Best I can tell, when I selected AA79 for LHR-DFW segment, the tool kept telling me Business Class wasn't offered on this flight and I had been upgraded to First. That sounded a bit odd to me and maybe that's why it wasn't pricing correctly? Now when I select the same flight for my date, there's no such message.

The last few times I've tried to use the tool it seems to randomly change dates on some segments (causing impossible connections and an error message) at the point of trying to get the price.

Unavailable Flights
 

On Expertflyer there is D9 on both BA flights for JNB-LHR, but online tool cannot find flights.

Why so difficult?

What date(s) are you looking at? Are you looking at codeshares or the prime flights?

Access to true BA flights has never seemed to be an issue. Well known though you cannot book any codeshares in the tool.

I've seen the online tool show zero inventory on BA and JL flights (prime) when in fact there is availability via expertflyer and the AA RTW desk. Most recently, for JNB-LHR this coming weekend (I've not checked the online tool today but did a few days ago).

I just checked Sabre. Flight is fully sold out on Saturday the 5th in all cabins. Sunday at 8:20 has D4. I got the same options on portal...

I could have made it clearer that the site/portal has generally shown availability but I've learned to check expert flyer if it shows none because some of those times it turns out there is some. I've not looked for or spotted any patterns.

Hi all, i'm trying to book a phx - flg flight as part of DONE3 ticket, but the RTW planner tool wouldn't show this airport when i typed in the code, even though i know that AA flies this route through American Eagles. When searching the route through normal AA and OW website the airport code and flight does show up as normal. Does this mean that this route is excluded from the RTW route or is this simply a bug with the planner? thanks in advance

It is yet another bug.

I recall, back in the days when it was possible, I filled out the feedback form on the Oneworld Web Site asking why some airports were missing - the very helpful reply was along the lines of "yes, some airports are missing":rolleyes:

Thanks for the quick reply. Luckily my company requires us to book through our approved travel agent, which, as useless as they usually are in most cases (sometimes they're more clueless than me the client), is a good way to sidestep this problem.

PHX-ANC-PHX for Jan-Feb 2017
 

Does AA still offer non-stop flights any more?

Recalled it used to be all year round for PHX-ANC-PHX. Now couldn't find it in any booking class on ow web site AND aa dot com.

This tool is becoming increasingly buggy.

Yes, it's still in the system. Currently showing as AA653 through to 1 June.
Doesn't help much when a lot of flights use the same number for multiple sectors and they keep changing numbers around.

The tool does not show anything close to 100% of oneworld flights.

Further, if you are looking for flights in A class [from an AONEx or a DONEx], AA has recently started zeroing out that bucket on longer flights to discourage upgraders of various shades from taking the inventory. It is quite annoying for people buying any kind of international J ticket with domestic AA feed.

Also, since even discount international A tickets usually book into full fare F on the domestic sector, it is a bit annoying that one of the most expensive fares of all (AONEx) requires booking into A class ... /end rant.

Another theory would be that AA simply prefers that the xONEx fares would disappear?

Consider ticketing in JNB and NRT stories...

Happy wandering

Fred
