is your 1w ticket printed on handwritten?

i spent 5 hours at the grand central cto in ny getting my ticket properly reissued on a conference call with tariffs and the aa help desk. my agent was spectacular, with a great personality and a high level of pateince, but tariffs and the help desk weren't as kind. anyway, because of my 24 segment ticket, it had to be handwritten. but some of the agents in the office disputed this and claimed there was some laziness on the part of tariffs, to set the ticket up for automatic printing.

so, my main question is the headline of the forum.

printed or handwritten?

If your travel agent uses Sabre, then anything above 16 segments must be hand-written. AA RTW desk is Sabre.

Both my RTW tickets (34 & 43 sectors) have been handwritten by American.

CHECK THEM CAREFULLY

I've had several errors on them and this has caused all sorts of tension at check-in.

In LHR, BA split the ticket fare in half and printed our reissue in 45 minutes at most.

AA tried to do this at the beginning (34 segs) but was then told by a RTW agent that my credit card may get billed twice if it were split. They hand wrote it in 3 - 4 hours.

Now when I had to make a change in MIA. It took 8 hours straight at the airport ticket desk, we missed the last flight out that night, and they ended up spliting the ticket but with a lot of mess typed on it. It seems to have come out as a point to point ticket with no connections.

My RTW was something like 11 segs. I worked it all out with a agent over the phone, and it was FedExed to be me the following day (probably thanks to my EP and BA gold status).

All tickets were printed on AA stock.
