Some things I picked up from the AA ATW desk:

- Segment limit will go down to 16, including surface segments - in prep for mandatory eticketing. [Yet some Amadeus people say that they can produce 20 segment etickets ]

- We'd be able to book RTW itineraries on oneworld.com. Hopefully this means we're still able to ring up the carrier of our choice and/or choose who to issue itineraries through, instead of the booking engine automatically defaulting to 'first outbound carrier.'

Not sure of the reliability of the source, but best to issue any itineraries asap.
