Yes, it was 20 segments of which I have now used three. I have called BA Australia and all their ticketing is done through QF. I imagine going to the airport and attempting a reissue with them will be a total waste of time and energy. It is looking very likely that I will need to give up on any reissue. However, is my ticket still valid? It has worked well thus far and my suspicion is that only a reissue will cause problems; actually using in the intended manner will be fine. Anyone have any experience?

Oh and yes it was issued by BA Cairo, not EMECO.
