Sorry to ask yet another question, but can I make the reservation with AA and then call BA in CAI to ticket it, or should I make the reservation directly with BA? </font>
FFS For the 325th time (or thereabouts) KEEP THE RESERVATION AND TICKETING SEPARATE!!!

All you need to tell BA in Cairo is the routing and the details of the flight out from Cairo. Get the rest of the ticket made as OPEN. Handle the reservations separately through a TA or directly with the airlines. To avoid difficulties with changing reservaions it is often easier to have them on a number of separate PNRs.
