"Open" RTW Tickets
I have been monitoring this site for several months, and have done a few RTW tickets.
Do I understand correctly that I could begin a 5-Continent RTW ticket such as CAI-LHR-HEL-LHR-LAX-SJU-ORD-MIA.... and then just not book any further segments at the time of ticketing, then add the final segments later? This would be as opposed to issuing the entire itineray and making changes ($75.00) at later date. Assumes ticketing in CAI by BA.
Thanks, guys.
LOVE THIS SITE.

I have just discussed this point a few threads up, and it seems the best thing to do is arrange your itinary to send to CAI BA office and make up the dates, changing the dates if needed costs nothing, if you do a search you will notice it's not so easy to change tickets etc as you go, especially ones issued through CAI,
I also called Ms Sobhi the other day - and she wouldn't really let me book a open ticket, and wanted the itinary faxed to her.
She didn't even want to give me a price, kept asking for the itinary - so keep it simple i say.

Mrs Sobhi is quite happy to book open-dated tickets - she has now done this for me twice. But of course you have to specify a complete and valid routing fo her to be able to issue the ticket. I also rerouted my first ticket twice, and have so far rerouted my second ticket once with absolutely no difficulty whatsoever.
What's more I have never asked her to make any reservations - I do all of those through my local tame travel agent and simply give her the BA PNR for the first segment. This is all she needs.
