I later converted it to an AONE5 (added South America) and one of the recongnized expert AA RTW agents did the conversion/re-issue. I was charged what the AONE5 price ex-ARN would have been at the time I originally bought the ticket.
Not quite the same situation and, recall, that at that time, one could get the other country's price when the ticket was purchased in the United States, but maybe it is helpful.
Thanks for the warm-fuzzy thought. Although lots has changed in those 5 years it costs nothing to get a second opinion, especially since the CX ticket morphed into an AA e-ticket along the way.
There's the distinct possibility that the AAgent will quote me the difference between an ex-NA AONE4 today and the ex-CMB AONE3 I paid for, as Millionmiler suggested earlier in this thread, but I can always say 'no thanks.'
