i wish e-ticket.. I have paper ticket.
BTW - i called BA RTW NA again to actually confirm my flights, for some reason they left half of my itinerary open, and I was charged taxes on stopovers, when it should just have been transits.
I was not able to reach the agent (mentioned above) and spoke to another one who confirmed what everyone in FLYTALK confirmed, that *one* must be purchased in country of origin. I told her that I knew the same thing, but was told otherwise last night. I asked to speak to a MGR to clarify the conflicting information, but was unble to speak to one, as I'm sure we all know it take at LEAST 15 minutes for an agent to pickup the phone.
I can do either or, but would prefer it to be mailed. But I was re-reading the *one* rules and saw the below....
"Sales restrictions
When travel originates in a country from which a specified local currency fare is published and the ticket is sold in another country, the fare will be that published from the country of origin converted into the currency of sale at the bankers selling
rate (BSR). The resultant fare must not be lower than that from the country of sale.
Exception: when there is no similar fare ex country of sale for comparison, convert the origin fare into currency of payment by BSR"
Wouldn't the above passage "INFER" that you CAN buy *ONE* in one country and have it issued/paid/ticketed in another. It states that the fare is based on
1) Class
2) # of continents visited
3) Country of Origin
Not Country where ticket was purchased.
What do you guys think??
