Starting RTW in EZE - Anyone done it?
I can't find a thread with this information, so please forgive me if its out there and my search skills are just not up to snuff.
I would like to buy a AONE4 to start in EZE, taking in South-West Pacific, Asia and Europe (where it would deposit me at home in London). I would complete the RTW a few months later and use a LHR-EZE flight as the "feeder" for the RTW and my passage home from EZE.
Has anyone experience of purchasing a Oneworld RTW ticket in EZE? Can I safely use a BA or Qantas sales office or do I need to learn Spanish and get it through LAN? (I'd like to use the new Qantas direct service to SYD so ideally would not be flying anywhere on LAN metal in case this makes a difference). I will have well under 16 flights on the itinerary, so an e-ticket is feasible; am I right in assuming I wouldn't actually have to be physically present in EZE to pick up the ticket - I would like it issued now but for travel in a few months' time. Any tips gratefully received.

Where are you based? Is EZE easy for you to get too?
US$10000 from EZE for an AONE4
us$8000 from JNB/CPT for an AONE5
From LHR fares are cheaper to S. Africa than to EZE so maybe best to going via S. Africa?
