Asking this, because i am planning to travel to South Africa to pick up
an AONE5 before June 1st (i want 20 segments), but it would be cheaper
to fly to Toronto. For payment, i don't have a creditcard on a Canadian
address, but they might accept cash?? Any experience here?
Nice itinerary by the way, i did IPC a few months ago on a DONE4. Just
amazing you can get to these great destinations for a bargain!
Yes. I used the AA rtw desk and they rated the ticket for purchase in Canada. Every rtw desk agent I spoke to (6+) did not believe I would get the lower of the two prices (ie. CAN vs S/A).....so just ask them to rate it. We have a competive pricing law in Canada that prevents charging a higher rate to us (Bonus!!).
I don't think they would be able to accept cash. The AA desk is open between 4:00am and 7:00pm - they would need a couple of hours to write the tickets (we had 4 - so you should be done earlier). They are in Terminal 3 at Pearson. The AA counter won't have any line but only one person on staff (so if they are at lunch/break you will have to wait for half an hour of more).
Cheers,
