The problem is that I have an e-ticket. No open segments allowed. AA refuses to reissue without MIA-xLHR-NBO being ticketed so that my LHR stop is a guaranteed transit.
Christep, if you have a clever way (other than changing to a paper ticket*) which allows me to:
- book MIA-LHR in advance
- prevent the no show penalty for LHR-NBO
- make sure I can end my itinerary in LHR without the risk of a high penalty
or any combination of the 3, I would be extremely happy!
* I don't want to do that since my travel dates are pretty much set, I will lose all my seat assignments and I cannot do online check in with a paper ticket.
