Thanks. Yes, I'm already at the 16 sector limit, and doing, say, PHX-SEA-ANC would entail trying to deal with BA who issued the AONE4, but don't have a dedicated RTW desk. It was bad enough getting the original ticket issued; I can't imagine a conversation about 18 sectors and using AS - not worth the effort.

Maybe I'll change it to DFW-ANC-DFW, although I'll have to wait a couple of months to see if it shows up in the early summer 2017 timetable.
