Feel free to tell that to the CSD at OK...

LOL. Well, I am talking about legally, not necessarily what you will be told by airline personnel.

Arrogant, selfish decisions such as this can lead to cancellations and problems for everyone involved. I'm sure that I would be perfectly satisfied if I was flying in KE F with no idea what seat I was going to get.
Fully agree. Just don't even call. Even when this deal is dead, any seat is fine--when you call for any reason, you increase the probability of messing this deal up for others.

I'm a bit new at this, but would it be possible if flying through BKK to just catch the connecting flight there onwards back to your ultimate destination or do you have to take the flight from RGN as that is where the ticket is originating from?

First cancellation report of an actual ticket?

now starting countdown to first threat of lawsuit by an FT'er.

Yes, you have to start in RGN if your ticket starts in RGN.

No skipping segments.

You'll need to start in RGN.

Coming back it's possible to jump ship after a couple of segments if your luggage isn't checked to the final destination.

I see lots of RTs successfully booking, but I can't see any availability on matrix or ticketing sites... you guys using V or some other booking site?

not so fast - you will still need to show the airline a Myanmar visa.

You can get a visa on arrival for some countries.

Correct, and this is my hesitation with booking a round-trip instead of a one-way. In the past, Myanmar has not been kind with multi-entry visas.
