Except that you have to fix the first international flight. If you need to change that flight (even the date) then it requires a ticket reissue which I believe would be at the rules and fares applying at the time of the reissue.</font>
I believe that is correct - however I assume most of us do not live in CAI or Egypt for that matter, the issue is solved by making a quick turnaround in CAI with the last segment of above itin and then fixing the first international segment for the return and then keeping the rest "open" / subject to rebook as described. Works fine if you live in Europe. Have bought 4 RTW that way in the last 8 months.
