Help with *A RTW
 
Hi all, maybe the master minds here have an idea:

I need to book a *A RTW, originating somewhere in Europe: Europe - ICN - OMA - ORD - JFK - FRA - Europe

I've been trying to plan this on the *A website, but despite the fact that I could book ICN - OMA (using a newITWMatrix search) for example ICN-xNRT-xORD-OMA (Asiana, ANA, United), the *A tool always tells me it can't make that routing.

Any ideas?

Asiana is leaving Star Alliance if the takeover is successful. They passed most regulatory hurdles.

Yeah, I know. But the Asiana leg is not the issue. I could go United. The tool just doesn't give me any options over a multitude of days.

ICN - xSFO - xDEN - OMA on United is bookable, for example. I could also do Air Canada + United. Etc...

Do you have at least 10 days between the first and the last intercontinental segment and do you have a minimum of three stopovers?

Have you looked at each segment individually to see if that makes a difference regarding availability in the *A tool?

For some proper self-research I would recommend getting an Expertflyer subscription and for the booking an experienced travel agent.

Yes, the entire trip is 19 days from departure in EU to last intercont segment.

Good idea on the individual segments.
