Question paper vs. e-ticket?

Hi, im a noobie to this site but your guys all seem to know your stuff.

Basically, i have just booked a LONE5 with BA for the following itn: -

LHR - CDG (BA) // CDG - DXB (RJ) // DXB - BOM (CX) // BOM - DEL (LAND SEC) // DEL - NRT (JL for JO) // NRT - PEK (JAL) // PEK - SIN (LAND SEC) // SIN - PER (QF) // PER - CNS (QF) // CNS - MEL (LAND SEC) // MEL - AKL (QF) // AKL - SCL (QF) // SCL - GRU (LA) // GRU - LIM (LP) // LIM - MIA (LP) // MIA - BOS (AA) // BOS - YYR (LAND SEC) // YYR - LHR (BA)

I have aprroximated my dates and times for all the flight excluding the flights mia - bos and yyr - lhr as flight data not avail. Above comes to 19 sectors i think!

On phoning i was told all sectors were e-ticketable. But one week later when taxes confimed i am told i am now to recieve a paper ticket

Honestly i dont want a paper ticket, so is their any way i can amend my booking so that i can get one? I am willing to knock sectors off if this helps. But if ido what extra costs can i expect?

Or do you think a paper one would be better, i just thought a e-ticket would be easier to get changed etc,and if bags stolent etc.


Sorry last thing am i best to be putting aprox dtes on my tickets or would i be best to get them all open aprat from first couple?

Any advice would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance.
