Actually I was assuming there are no BA CTOs in Sofia or Bucharest, thus people would have to use Bremen as the go-between, similar to when BA closed the IST CTO. But I was wrong, there are BA travel shops in both cities. Whether they'll have an Ulya-equivalent (great IST agent) remains to be seen.
Also FWIW Tal Aviation has a branch in Stockholm (CX and AA GSA) so that might be another ticketing resource should one lack full confidence in BA. And, there are experienced TAs in GIB who know the RTW rules very well.
