I think the 16 segment limitation is common to a lot of airlines; AA is a wee bit behind in that they cannot even machine print paper tix greater than 16 segments. A few weeks before the surface segment rule change came in, a mate from Amadeus made a casual remark that etix with 20 segments can be created on Amadeus but I haven't had a chance to verify with him what airlines are already doing that. Definitely not QF/BA last I checked.

Hmmm. Someone from AA mentioned being able to e-ticket my 20 segment DONE4. When I expressed surprise he back-pedalled. At the time I thought it was the usual incorrect information (probably most xONEx's issued are less than or equal to 16 segments and thus e-ticketable). But maybe it is not?
