My AONE6 was easily sorted out by Elly Miller, many thanks. A Can$600 admin fee was worthwhile. However, this decision to buy through an agent (something I've never done previously with any airline ticket) really proved unexpectedly useful since my first flight (TLV-LHR) was cancelled because of the volcanic ashcloud. Not only was Elly very proactive in seeking to assist me in TLV [although I'd been more pro-active myself and found my own way back to London ... but that's a long story!] but, more importantly, Elly was of massive assistance in several consequential rebookings of much of the AONe6.

For anyone who is thinking of using the Canadian option to save some significant money on a rtw ticket, I'd strongly recommend Elly Miller
