I bought my ex-CAI ticket from AA and the agent who wrote it wants anything but a "rest" or "break" from selling such tickets.

AA's GSO in CAI has heard the rumors (probably from nervous FTers, such as myself), but has not gotten any comfirmation.

Does anyone know when is the ticket actually issued? Let's say if I book and fax over credit card details now, but pick the ticket up in February, can I lock in price at today's level? Is the ticket gonna be issued now, or in February? How's the experience of FTers who has done it?

TerryK - Yes, you can get the tickets issued at todays price for collection later, providing you have a route. A simple CAI-LHR-LAX-HKG-LHR-CAI would fix the price, you could then pay the $75 and get the final routing changed/expanded after you leave CAI.

Thanks. Does that mean my credit card will be charged on, say 19-Dec-03, and ticket issued on 19-Dec-03, and it will be sitting in the BA office awaiting my collection in February?
I guess what I would like to make sure is that the date of purchase will be 19-Dec-03, in the above example, not Feb-04 when I actually pick it up and start travel.
