DONE4 ex-WAW Poland

Have just placed an itinerary on hold ex-WAW, via AA.

I would ticket online, but it goes thru BA and I would rather use AA as the cost seems to be around $700-800 lower.

Has anybody had any experience ticketing from the AA office in Poland? I have this contact number 4822-625-3002/625 0560 , but haven't had a chance to call as it is open M-F 9-5

Have ticketed many times through Mindpearl for ex-CPT itineraries, and found that to be a smooth process. Is WAW similar? Do they charge a fee on top of the fare? Do they accept foreign credit cards (Australian)?

If the feedback is bad, I guess I could try ticketing via Canada, and I can see contacts on this forum for ticketing. However, will I need to tell AA, and ask that it be priced in Canadian dollars to do this? And if it is purchased thru Canada, does it need to be a 7 day advance purchase?

Thanks in advance....

There have been discussions in the forum in the past on purchasing from the AA GSA in Warsaw. See:

Used them last year. I had a paper ticket because I couldn't book my last flights when I purchased the ticket. I paid over the phone by credit card and left the ticket with them for several months. When I went to Warsaw, I went to their office. I don't think I was in there for more than a total of 3-4 minutes. Not a hitch. Highly recommended.

I didn't end up buying the ticket, and can't remember the exact price, but it wasn't as low as I was expecting. I think it was only a bit less than the BA price quoted via the online tool, and a lot more (maybe $500???) that as AY issued ticket quoted via the online tool.

Not sure if AA really are that cheap to book via anymore. I also booked a LONE4 from AKL recently, and the QF price vs the AA price was almost identical. (of course, AA is preferable as they don't charge a fee for date/time/carrier changes, unlike QF. Not sure about AY though....)

Have just been on the phone to TAL in Warsaw, the AA agent, and the agent said that they don't accept credit card - only cash (!!!) or bank transfer. Has anyone else had this problem with Warsaw issued tickets???
