Why would the BA manager in CAI put in a request for a fare increase -- is it to take advantage of the higher volume of tickets that is currently being sold? An increase will most probably decrease the number of tickets sold ex-CAI. </font>
I think it's down to logistics. BA's operation in Egypt is small and with current staffing levels it must be difficult dealing with all the demand they're getting for RTW tickets.

I also questioned the logic of it [apropos other posts on here]...
