Darren - actually I'm in London at the moment (on a New Zealand owe 
). Kinda why I'm looking at buying my next owe in Sweden rather than in Asia or Australia/New Zealand. Having not booked one of these with AA (even though I'm EXP lol), could I do the following? Book it with the RTW desk in the U.S. and have them charge it to my credit card, get the AA London CTO to issue it, start the journey from ARN shortly thereafter.</font>
I am talking from very recent first hand experience. DO NOT EVER ATTEMPT TO GO to the AA office in London. They WILL not issue the ticket. Telephone AA London or UK and ask for Mr Thomas of fares Department. He will sort out your routing patiently and reliably and will instruct Sweden to keep your ticket ready. I understand that he is in Dublin and starts work at 11 AM London time.
I tried to get the US RTW desk charge my credit card and FEDEX me the tickets;they couldnt do it. I did the mistake of going to the Piccadilly office of AA, spent 4 hours gaining nothing but ulcers and finally was referred to Mr Thomas by one agent from AA RTW desk, after which it worked like magic.
