I told her how is this possible since the rules specifically state that it is not. She said the rules are different in each country of origin and she send it to pricing priced it up and my itin is reserved.
I however called BA RTW US and they were actually apalled, and clearly stated that it was wrong.
I told her I wanted to confirm with BA RTW US before and she told me the BA RTW Agent in MRU is clearly absurd. Anyhow, she put me on hold to speak to a superviser. She came back and told me it was actually possible, and that the rule are different for MRU since LHR is the only gateway..
Dunno guys, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed
If they ticket it you're good to go. Just watch out for bad news if you go through a reissue.

Isn't that a bit high??
I did a Done4 ex ist, this year and taxes were only $300 usd.
I'm making the same stopovers in US, and the only difference re the two intl stopover..
Does this sound right to you guys?
It sounds like BA fuel surcharges and LHR t/o fees are whacking you big time.
