Fuel charges
Hi,
I have lost the current thinking, which aitlines do and dont charge fuel charges on DONE tickets?
Also has any one tried to get AA to issue out of Gib?
and whats the advantage of a Candian start/issue

Rule of thumb: The lowest charges will be from US carriers, the highest from European/Australian. Asia is somewhere in the middle.
In other words: It usually is the best thing to get the ticket issued by AA.
Currently the cheapest place to start a xONEx is most probably South Africa.

But, because of the special Canada rule, you should be able to get a Gibraltar-originating *ONE* ticket issued in Canada at the Gibraltar price (converted to Canadian dollars).

My advice: Call AA RTW desk, make the booking through them, get a quote from them and then give them your credit card number over the phone and then they will issue the ticket (electronic only) starting from anywhere at the lowest price without you having to visit Canada or incur a ridiculous booking fee from TA.
