More FT thanks - DONE4
Although I did not discuss the set up of my recent acquisition (DONE4) on this Board, many thanks to all for various discussions of itineraries, rules and points of origin.
BKK x HKG YVR // SEA x ORD ANC DFW x MIA SFO LHR // AMS HEL FCO x LHR SYD // ADL PER SYD CHC SYD x HKG DEL HKG BKK.
The very patient and knowledgable ladies at CX BKK ticketed this itinerary. The only problem is that each sector is printed on a separate card and the book of ticket cards is thick enough to make an offensive weapon. Bring on e-tickets!
Whilst the itinerary is not maximised for miles or SCs, it will make for a nice trip or two.

Finally someone going to ANC for the scenery (and it is gorgeous!). Presumably you are taking the ferry from YVR to SEA. If you are driving, make a few stops along the way (La Conner for one, and maybe Whidby island).

Notice that CX managed to print all sectors on a ticket. AA's system just couldn't do that and you'd end up with a handwritten ticket if it exceeds a certain number of segments.
E-Tickets on RTW's may not be happening for a long time.

Given the bulk of the book of tickets (all 20 of them plus several with the "passenger recipts"), I presume we'll have to have the lot with us all the time in case of needing to re-issue? Otherwise, it'd be really handy to just carry the relevant tickets (and make the associated weight / bulk saving).
