Hello FT's,

First off let me say that I don't know if I should be thanking everyone or cursing everyone for introducing me to my new best/worst addiction. Since I found this forum a little over a month ago, I can count my full nights of sleep on one hand! Anyway, I was hoping that some of you RTW god/ess' could enlighten and correct me where you see fit. Are the following steps correct?

1) Confirm xONE4 Route w/ FT forum:

CAI-LHR (departing 11/27/2004)
LHR-JFK
JFK-(bkk or hkg)SYD
SYD-HKG
HKG-LHR
LHR-CAI

-is this valid, assuming I will make changes later for ~$75?

2. Get PNR from BA for CAI-LHR:

- If I do go with an economy fare, will I also have to book the LHR-LAX segment (there has been some confusion on the board about this in the past)?

3. Call Mrs Sobhi (+20 25 78 0742)to introduce myself and advise her of my intention to fax my route/credit card/etc.

4. Fax Mrs Sobhi (+20 25 74 7674) the following: valid route, pnr information, front/back copy of credit card.

-am I missing anything here?

5. Fly to CAI to pickup ticket/fly first segment.

-how long will the BA office in CAI hold this ticket once issued? How far in advance could I book a ticket for?

Thanks for everything!

cheers,

Noah
