So is the RTW good for one year of purchase or one year from the first flown segment? IE buy a RTW now for departure Dec 04, good through Dec 05?</font>

Well, one could always start to cultivate the possibilities slightly west of CAI. I can't remember if the thread was here or on the *A forum, but there were tales of ludicrusly cheap tickets; RTW and more plain varieties.
If course it would be an interesting exercise to take a holiday in Disney World after using this venue for tickets

The advantage for Star Alliance tickets is that these can still be issued in Canada whereas Oneworld tickets need to be issued at country of origin.

If you can purchase your ticket starting in CAI without going to CAI. Can you then not have your travel agent purchase it for you ex CAI and then pick it up at a later date while in CAI? I do not see any difference other than having a middle person you trust making shure you get what you want and your money goes into the right hands. You give them the money they buy the ticket you pick it up. Is it any different than having a friend purchase a ticket for you? I mean if you know the agent really well isn't there some sort of loop hole?

There is a 10% penalty if an Americas originated trip (IATA Area 1) is cancelled within 7 days of the scheduled departure. There is no penalty if the trip originates outside the Americas, however some airlines may impose a "service fee" for their work (I believe BA charges EGP300 in CAI).

How would one go about getting a refund for an ex-CAI ticket if they hadn't picked the ticket up yet?
