Ticket Re-issue Question...

I have a 19 segment DONE5 which is ticketed and in my possesion. (First flight is CAI-MAD on Sep 5 '05.) I would like to add a 20th segment, which would end up being coupon #5 of 20. (The flight does not make the ticket off-side as it would be my first of 4 permitted flights within Africa.) I presume this will cost me $75?

The second part of this question is where shoud I try to get the ticket re-issued? The original is an Emeco issued hand-written ticket. I am currently in Bermuda and I won't be able to have it re-issued without a lot of huffing and puffing in Bermuda. My options as I see it are:


a) Wait until I can get to a "knowledgeable" and experienced RTW ticket office/airport during my first trip through LHR in mid-August.
b) Wait until my last stop (12 hour layover) in LHR on my way from DXB to CPT. At this point, I will have 4 of the 20 coupons used (including the LHR-CPT leg) if that makes any difference to the re-issued ticket being hand written or not.
c) I will be going through YYZ in early July, and could stop at the AA desk there if it will be quick. I will have a two hour layover. Not sure if this is enough time.
d) Have the ticket re-issued in CPT upon arrival there. Time will not be a huge issue at this point.
e) Alternatively, can I call the AA RTW desk, have them make the change, and then go to a ticket counter with the PNR to have the ticket re-issued?

Thanks for the advice.
