Booking on skyteam.com

Is there any way to book flights that show up on skyteam.com through the skyteam website? I'm planning a RTW flight, and I've noticed that anything involving multiple skyteam carriers will show up on the skyteam website, but won't show up when you try to book the flight through one of the partner airlines. At least not on AF or DL anyways....Either that or I can't read French correctly

The skyteam.com website is not a booking engine. For that matter neither are the *A or OW sites.

Booking a RTW ticket almost certainly will require dealing with an agent and not just booking directly online. I've not yet seen an online engine that can handle the number of segments or correctly price out the routing. Get your plans together for which flights you want and then phone it in.

That's actually annoying. I wish someday we'll be able to book tickets directly through this multiple airlines websites.

Oneworld are planning on booking Oneworld Explorer fares on-line (http://www.oneworld.com/ow/news/details?objectID=14126) although I don't think it's started yet...
