Annnnd the ticket is HERE! Fare basis AONE6. And now that I get it I've been thinking about the entire D vs. A class mileage issue, and realized that I can get MORE mileage by flying DFW-SFO-JFK-SFO-DFW with one less segment than DFW-LAX-SXM-SJU-JFK-DFW AND get the F class fare bonus vs. the D class.... and have a bit of time in NYC to relax. Now comes the question, how hard is it to reticket/reissue? I'm loathe to touch it now that it's in hand!

BTW this was utterly painless. I phoned in my itin to CX, they gave me the fare basis, I gave 'em my card #, and a week later the ticket is fedexed to me. All 21 segs are printed so it's NOT necessary to find an AA uber-writer to get this done, just visit CX!
