Thanks!

I am working on the research bit, you guys are a helping.

My trip is planned as:

NY to Manchester(uk)- July 19th (US Airways id90)
London to Bombay - July 31st (Alitalia ID90)
Bombay to NY - September 3rd (Alitalia ID90)

I am just a bit nervous because if it could work out to be more that would make the london to bombay, bombay to NY almost 10,000 dollars on Alitalia...they are pricing it for 'regular passengers at almost 7,000....I am just a bit confused.....

The joy have hearing different things from different people in the pass bureau....one says I have to pay in advance the other says I pay at the ticket counter on the day of the flight? which one is industry practice? If I pay at the ticket counter is there any chance that it would be cheaper at the counter and not the price my pass bureau quoted me?

I will submit the papers and see what they come back to me with....but based on the $180 dollar price they quoted me to go from NYC to DC I am not too hopeful....
