In the end, I decided on HKG, since I wanted to use my 26k miles in North America, rather then getting in & out of Singapore.
The DCIR26 reservations were setup and priced through the AA RTW Desk in the US (+1 800 247 3247), who I'm quite loyal to. Then, on a stopover from the US, stopped in to the AA HKG office, and had 2 DCIR26 tickets issued 10 minutes later.
I live in Australia, and my credit card was issued in the States, but the ticketing staff didn't ask. 8 hours later I on a plane to Australia.
Sorry to be a bit dull witted and slow, but I've spent the day cleaning and while my mood is elevated from the bleach, I'm quite sure I've killed off the few remaining brain cells I had.
When you rang up the AA desk in the US, they price it based on where you intend on having the ticket issued, ie in your case HKG, or is it priced on the US prices, being where they physically are?
I'm sure it's all clear, but I'm taking care of this for someone else, and I'll be written out of the will (again
) if I get this wrong.
many thanks!!
