Is this right? I've seen threads where people have ticketed with AA in Aus and I cant see any AA sales offices in Aus on their website page.
Can anyone advise if I can do this and how? Or if it is possible at all? I presume I have to get it ticketed in Fiji in order to get the Fiji fare?
Also Qantas in Fiji told me that I cant leave any segments open when I ticket as they need all the flights locked in in order to calculate the taxes. I thought I could leave some flights open and book on my way round? Is this right? Do I need to put guesstimate dates in and change them later?
Sorry if this repeats any previous threads, but I've had a look through and cant quite piece it together.
Thanks for any thoughts/suggestions
Suggestion : Book with a Canadian TA who has Sabre and they can take over the AA priced itinerary. If you do it personally, then QF will be issuing the ticket for you as AA does not have rep in Fiji. Ticket MUST be issued in country of origin ie Fiji. Or through a Canadian TA. FYI Fiji is NOT in Australia hence having AA in Australia isn't going to help you here.
You cannot leave open segments on an E ticket. You can change dates later on but you must have some dates on it.
