On the subject of sales procedures, could you clarify how the recently introduced “Canada exception” works? My understanding is that the old rule of having to pay the maximum of the price of country of booking and the price of country of origin now does not apply when booking in Canada. It seems that when ONE tickets are booked through Canadian travel agents then you can pay the point of origin price even if it is lower than the country of booking (i.e., Canada). Given that most people in this forum deal directly with airline round-the-world desks, my question is whether this pricing also works when booking directly with the airline for an origin in, say, South Africa or Japan, but paying for the ticket at a ticket counter of AA, BA, or CX at a Canadian airport?
