I have ready all through this very long thread, but I still have a little open dated question. For my LONE5 the itinerary (hasn't ben ticket yet) indicates a specific carrier for open dated segments - even when there is a choice (eg LHR-HKG). Will my ticket also indicate a specific carrier - will it just have the city pairs? And if it does have a specific carrier, is that a problem? Sadly my TA could not answer this question - but thats another drama!

Thanks in anticipation
