Can see availability on AA LHR>JFK in Sept 2017 but when I called to book they said they were unable to add these flights to an existing booking. Could only do it under a new booking - obviously I dont want this in a new booking - is what this guy said true?
Gonna try HUCA now
I had issues yesterday booking some AA award flights. They said the flights weren't available on 'their system', but when he checked the website he could see the availability. He put me on hold for about 40mins and sorted it out with some senior rep, he said they had to manually add the flights in to be able to book them? Don't know if that's related at all.
If that's not the issue, are you sure you're not breaking any of the award rules?
Not breaking any rules as far as I know. I only have ADL-DOH-DXB (stop) DXB-ANK (stop) and want to add LHR-JFK because the only availability suits my needs. I can see 3 flights on the 15th of October but QF rep cant see any, could see them online but wouldnt let them book it.
Strange... 2nd operator said they tried to book it online but it failed, thinks its an issue on AA's end.

The first and economy flights are outside the OTW 280,000 points
Seeing a stop in DXB makes me wonder whether you have an EK flight in your itinerary. If so, then that's you're issue: EK isn't a OneWorld partner, so can't be in a OneWorld Classis Award fare... :-(
Next stop, working out how to get from JFK>NRT... Is anyone else having issues with searching on BA for JL availability? When I try to search it keeps tripping over asking for a stop over...

PER-HKG - CX - Business (STOP) 30hrs in HK - had to burn a stop here because finding awards flights to Maldives is terrible.
HKG-MLE - CX - Business (STOP) 5 nights in Maldives
MLE-DOH - QR - Business
DOH-AMS - QR - Business (STOP)
By far the biggest drama was getting J seats in/out of Maldives. There were very few awards seats and we tried all kinds of combinations through HK and SG on a variety of different airlines. We would have loved to have just had a transit through to MLE and kept that stop up our sleeve
Wow, great itinerary and cheap too! And I love Tallinn, New York, Vancouver, Cancun and Tokyo - I'll have to hang on to this itinerary and use it myself - thanks for doing all the hard work!Woohoo, all booked! Had to fly indirectly a couple of times, hopefully some more direct flights might open up later but at least it's all locked in!
