CAI RTW ticket starting somewhere else
Is it possible to purchase a OW rtw ticket in CAI, but have it start, say in Asia or NA if I'm willing to fly to CAI and pay for and pickup the ticket in person?

Ok, the other question I had is if you start a RTW in CAI, go to africa, then asia, then australia, then SA, then NA, and you just stop, and never use the last coupons to go back to CAI is there anything they can do?

No - that's fine. But remember that your ticket must have the coupons to get you back to your country of origin and that these will count towards the 20 segment maximum on the ticket.

Not that I've ever heard of anyone being caught.

I think that's what christep means. Basically the last sector would have to read xxx-CAI and that can be the 20th segment of the RTW. When issuing the ticket, one would have to include the originating city as the terminating city.

I think JohnAx's point was that you had to actually fly the segments, not just have them on the ticket to avoid risk of penalty. I'm not sure that's even officially the case - it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the rules. I have certainly thrown away the last segment of a OWE (LHR-CDG as it happens) and also thrown away two in the middle (a DFW-ANC-DFW run if I remember correctly) and never had any difficulty as a result.
