Two days to wait (and plan how to get to SEZ).
Does anyone know where this must be ticketed? For example, can I pay the AF agent in Sydney? Or should I expect to call SEZ up and do it from there... (hope not)
Expert Flyer seems to suggest that ticketing in australia won't affect the price - I am not sure about that, but haven't used it very much before. Any view anyone?

Hello smithy789,

AFAIK, you will have to pay the price from the starting point (SEZ) or the ticketing point (Australia) whichever is higher... Then to get the best price, you may have to Start from SEZ and pay and get the ticket issued in SEZ.

But of course, let us know if you managed to get the SEZ price from Australia... that will be nice
