Well, I just tried to purchase our DONE4 via AA NRT yesterday Fri 29 Jun. It's a 16 segment total including 1 surface segment. The last 7 segments were open dated. I called them up and give my credit card details etc, but the system didn't allow the ticketing to go through. The agent thought it could be due to the open dated segments. As it's past their closing time 5:30 pm NRT time, they suggested I call back on Monday (AA NRT only operates Mon-Fri 9AM to 5:30PM).
I called AA US ATW desk this morning to confirm and the agent told me (after consulting with her supervisor) that eticket can't be purchased on open dated segment even for 16 segment or less.
They have to issue paper ticket on open dated ticket. I then asked her to put just some dummy dates to overcome this problem.
I will have to call AA NRT on Monday to make payment again.
Hopefully there won’t be any other surprises.
