Open Jaw Question
I'm going to be starting an AONE5 in a few weeks, and I'm leaving everything open jaw except the initial flight. How does one go about getting reservations for each flight down the line? Just show up at the airport if you see availability? Call in advance? Either one?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Call the airline (the one on which you wish to travel) in advance, and tell them you have a ticket with an open segment (not an open jaw -- open jaw is something totally different) that needs to be booked in an 'A' booking class seat. They might ask you for the ticket number to confirm the reservation, so be sure to have it handy. If the flight you want offeres only business and economy, you'll need to ask for 'D' booking class instead of 'A'; economy-only flights need 'L' booking class.
You could just show up of course, but there's no reason not to book in advance.

What is not altogether clear to me is what class you book into on an AONEx ticket if the flight offers First but there is no availability. If going down to Business then it is D, but going down to Economy would it be L or Y?
