Right, ex-South Africa costs about the same as ex-ICN so i might try to issue with mindpearl if AA ICN won't budge on CNP payment. We'll see... Worse comes to worst I'll simply bite the extra fuel fines and issue through another carrier ex-ICN; AA will reissue my itinerary when I need an EVIP applied anyway.
