Hmmm I assume for Qantas that's the phone processing fee they charge for doing anything. I guess I'll go with American. Will the ticket be issued by AA even if I fly AA codeshare on BA metal for the first segment?

Also, when I called the AA RTW desk, the lady told me the cancellation fee was 5% of the fare (for business) + the segments already flown. Wouldn't it be cheaper if I just let the ticket run out in the end? (If I do want to cancel that is)
