Just make sure the ITN is valid before you send it the BA IST and you will have your tickets issued in 3-4 working days without any hassle whatsoever. No need to bother AA RWT allthough they have the expertise, but so does the guys on this board (what comes to validating the ITN)..that is the only reason I would see there's a point using them...for valid route BA is just as good at picking up free seats from D bucket
