2 - Does the ticketing carrier matter? It seems that the AA fuel surcharges are listed in the starfile but not in the CX rules. I am going ex-London - should I get BA to ticket instead of AA so I can save on surcharges? It seems that everyone likes to complain about BAs RTW staff - is AA UK any better? Or should I book with AA US RTW desk and get ticketed here?

Thanks much!
