Thanks Rogodwin. After the first set of nonsense to come back from the AA DUB fares desk I went direct to the RTW desk and got them to send a message through.

What I fear more though is someone in DUB who thinks they know what they're doing and 'enhancing' my itinerary, as has happened several times so far.

This is my fifth RTW (all previous ones booked with BA or TA) and it's amazing how wrong it's all gone this time round. I appreciate these are difficult tickets to the uninitiated but if I tot up all the time I've had to spend getting AA DUB to do what they're meant to be doing it probably comes to at least 9-10 hours. Add time spent listening to the Four Seasons on hold to that and it's nearer 24 hours
