I am trying to issue a Varig *Alliance Brazilian Air Pass ( 4 coupon USD 399+) ; have a USD288 (BRL830+) MCO issued bt Varig in Sao Paolo (involuntary downgrade) ...and Varig's agent in Australia tells me today I can't use the MCO to pay towards it ... is this right ??? should I try in Bangkok or in Washington instead ???
