Agreed that the folk on this board may be a little more interested in it than your average res agent or ticketing clerk, but I'd always thought the first rule of sales is 'know you sh*t'?
I didn't realize that there were *any* travel agents specializing in OWE's, assuming you and I understand the word the same way.

Except when there are geographic issues to be solved I have no problem dealing with the airlines' rtw desks, but for those other occasions, I think it would be really great if you could add your list of these good folks to the knowledge base here. People are always asking, especially for low-cost places like BKK and CMB.
