Something has just occurred to me, and haven't seen posted here.
Now with RTW e-ticketing, is there any need to actually pick up the ticket in the country of issue? I have done many RTW tickets: ex... FCO, CAI, HKG. Now that I can be e-ticketed and only have to print out on my computer, isn't this an advantage to the new 16-segment restriction? Thoughts? Can't we just show up at the airport with our itinerary?

I just squeaked in my last 20-segment DONE04 ex-CAI departing 4/2009, and as this is still paper ticket, will have to arrange pick-up from Emeco in Egypt -- but they are very easy to work with.
