Hi,

Thanks to all those who replied - As I thought no consensus.

I keep moving between open and dummy - I suppose the question is:

For a novice traveller who will be travelling for a year on this ticket and flexible with dates and does not understand for example what a validation sticker, or a PNR is - would I be better of getting dummy dates or open.

One thing for sure is that my travels will be set in stone with regards to SCL-AKL availability which does not exist in L though looking at the class availability sites seem to be ok for D.

Thanks

J
