Why the alarmist tone? If a hospitable Italian agent is willing to accomodate a change in travel plans why would the passenger have any reason to believe this would not supercede the AZ New York directives? It seems that AZ has much bigger problems than tracking down the malicious "maneuverings" of a few FTers. I realize some have made it their job to convey the official party line from the AZ NY office (and have provided valuable information) but the danger of a long-term debit memo (precedent?) seems exaggerated.

Thanks again to everyone who has helped make this a great travel experience and MR for us.
