We'll probably use BA because they will likely be the first over-water carrier, but I frankly prefer the AA RTW desk's competence over BA, so may still change our minds. BA quotes ex-WAW fares in Zlotych (star file says USD - what's with that?) which makes me nervous; AA says USD.
In another post Jonnny said the zloty price was about PLN 19160, which translates to USD 6200 at today's interbank rate. So does this mean that BA will sell the ticket for that much vs. AA at USD 5000? If so I'd say it's a no-brainer, but since I'm looking to do the same thing I'm more than curious as to what the actual situation is!

Thanks,
Chris
