Is this a new one?
It only appears after I fill in segment 8. http://i.imgur.com/ykJYwk0.png It's an annoying one because I can't remove the city from my itinerary: the "back to the map" link doesn't work until you delete the errors. But if you change it out of a surface sector you get a different error. Eventually by changing the sectors around it to and from surface sectors it cleans itself up. Also, no Jet Connect flights loaded, as far as I can see. |
there is/used to be a rule preventing 2 trans-continental Australian flights

Hmm, I am trying to add a direct segment BNE-AKL in the tool, but no flights are showing up. Such a flight exists in the flight search operated by JetConnect, but the tool is only showing indirect flights for the days I've checked (~July 2017). Weird thing is that the date popup on the tool colours the days dark blue to indicate there should be a direct flight...but after the search there is none. :confused:

sounds like the bug has reverted :(

Does anyone have any ideas on why these two itineraries are priced very differently by the online RTW tool? Tested both of these just now:
Both start on JJ8163 from JNB to SAO and touch 5 continents. Shouldn't the base fare be the same? Thank you for any insight! 🙌 |
Yes, it should be the same. My guess is that your DFW is a transit and a bug in the software is pricing it as an LONE4.

Just tried the tool for the first time. Here's the itin I was trying to book: CAI-LHR-DOH-CDG-DOH-SYD-NRT-DEL-NRT-CMB-NRT-BOS-LAX-MBJ-LAX-DOH-CAI. The only problem I had with the online tool is that it would only allow 15 segments. Said that my itin was invalid for too many segments. Removed the last one (DOH-CAI) and it was fine. (Since it's not until July, I assume that there will be schedule changes before I start, anyway.)
So I called AA RTW Desk and booked it there. Very nice and apparently knowledgeable agent; he validated it, was mildly amused that I'm flying so much with only one real stop (BOS). (I also have a >24 hour stop in Los Angeles, but barely, at 27 hours. Just enough time to have a day off and maybe do a little sightseeing.) Submitted to rate desk for faring, should be back in a day or two. The recent rule change so that local ticket issue in country of origin is no longer required is a most welcome one. Makes the whole process much smoother. Unfortunately, this will undoubtedly cost Mindpearl some non-trivial amount of business, -- they were always both knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. |

I had no comments re: CAI start when I booked last Friday, other than call back on Mon/Tue to day after the rates people have time enough to calculate.
I suspect it is still a bit early for Cairo specific comments. Or maybe all the die-hard xONEx people already have their tickets for the next year. Happy wandering Fred |

Did the tool offer you the option of booking online? (I assume not). Did whoever you dealt with at the AA RTW desk have any comments about the ex-CAI fares, like many of us were receiving while booking the ex-MPM fares?
No comments about ex-CAI fares. Agent couldn't have been more pleasant, actually. I expect that by Monday, they'll start to figure this out. |
