8 Segment MultiCity Booking - How?

[Carlous Moochous]

Hey All,

A while ago I posted about doing a round the world ticket, without actually going around the world.. Since then our travel plans have changed and now i want to book the following to connect with an existing booking from Australia - Dallas.

Leg 1: DFW-YYC 13Aug (PM)
Leg 2: YYC-SFO 20 Aug
Leg 3: SFO-LAS 24 Aug
Leg 4: LAS-SJU 27 Aug
Leg 5: SJU-MCO 4 Sep
Leg 6: MCO-JFK 10 Sep
Leg 7: JFK-YYZ 15 Sep
Leg 8: YYZ-DFW 17 Sep (PM)

I Have found i can get from YYC to YYZ (via the legs listed above) for about $1100pp on a 6 segment multi city trip search. The remaining 2 legs are about $700pp. I tried breaking it up into 2 x 4leg trips, but that lost all my savings.. It seems the more legs you add, the cheaper the multi ticket gets.. Is there anyway to get all 8 on the one ticket? I also want that all on AA (except the YYC-SFO which is on Alaska via SEA) for the qantas status credits & points (so no O class fares please).

Anyway, any help would be appreciated
Cheers
Carl

Have you worked out how many SC and points will accrue?

Do you want to see if you can book this F with restrictions?

Is your question you want to connect the booking numbers?

Basically i just wanted to book it all on the one ticket.. (excluding the Australia-DFW part).. I tried individual one ways and it was much more expensive.. the multi city search engine on either AA.com or matrix.itasoftware.com provided great prices when booking as a multi-city ticket. unfortunately, they cap out at 6 segments, and i need 8.. Can a travel agent add those extra 2 legs or is 6 the max?

also am flying in economy, looking for either GLMNSV or BHKY fares.. cheaper the better, but one of those classes so I at least get the status credits.. i total (with the AUS-Dallas legs adds up to 250 SC's)

16 is the max; you'll need to either use a TA or call AA.

"I also want that all on AA (except the YYC-SFO which is on Alaska via SEA) for the qantas status credits & points (so no O class fares please)" - presumably you mean AA codeshares on AS metal.

To book online, maybe you can leave the shorter segments out (SFO-LAX, NYC-YYZ) and open jaw them with separate bookings. (I have not tried this)
