Hi, Our family is planning a rtw trip beginning in June. We have been trying to book a five contintent Explorer ticket but with no success. We want to begin in London and have already booked tickets there. We called BA North America rtw desk and after several weeks of run around were told that they could only book us with the US price. We then tried BA in London. They initially told us that they could give us the UK price and that we could pay for the tickets at any BA counter at any airport. After repeatedly being promised that they were still in the process of pricing the ticket they said they could not sell us a ticket as we do not have a UK credit card and are not in the UK (even though (in desperation) my husband said he would fly to London and pay for the tickets. We then tried Cathay Pacific as they appear to be the only alliance airline that has an office in Canada but were informed that you have to book with the same airline as your first flight segment and that would force us to fly from London to Hong Kong first which does not fit in with the rest of our trip. Any advise or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
