Ways to pay BA
Is a credit card the only way you can pay BA for a RTW ticket? I'd expect BA in London to possibly accept Switch but what about BA in other countries such as Turkey?

I believe most agencies will accept International Bank transfers. I seem to recall reading in some of the other threads of people sending over money by bank transfer to agencies in both WAW and IST.

As Switch is now Maestro you may be able to use it. The cost difference between IST and WAW is not that great. The problem with starting in IST is you are prevented from going to any Middle East country as IST is in the "no more than two flights between London and XXXXXXXX" rule. DXB, MCT, BAH, CAI are all good value long haul points and miles routes that would be denied to you by starting in IST. |

On my last AONE4 I did LHR-IST-LHR-DXB-LHR so I should have known that it is not an issue. Doh! |

...LAX-LHR-stopover-IST-stopover-LHR-stopover-DXB-stopover-LHR-CPT.... I can't remember the exact flight I took but I arrived in IST mid-afternoon and departed mid afternoon a couple of days later. I took the overnight flight out to DXB and the daytime flight back. |
Going to IST with lots of Dollars
Hi,
Firstly, you can get the ex IST issued in the UK so why not? At least that is the reaction I got from BA earlier today. Secondly, you should be aware that carriage of USD 10,000 in cash can trigger all sorts of nasty customs questions. Thirdly, I got sniffed by the currency searching dog at LHR last time I went to IST. Infact, every time I have been to IST. There are fares which BA has that are "private" fares and can only be sold ex-IST and I am fairly confident that the A/DONEx is not one of them. I am digging around a lot on IST fares as I am off there shortly and have to go back to UK, change bags and then off to SYD/CBR and CNS over the weekend for a couple of weeks and then direct back to the UK. I am not suggesting that USD 10,000 is required in cash, merely pointing out what the regulation state. I will post the ex IST, WAW and CAI fares very shortly on their own thread for D and A class, all in USD for our AAmericaan friends. |
