Just wanted to avoid the phone fee really. And thought if I could get onto someone who knows what they are doing it wouldn't be so hard. But was difficult to get onto anyone other than an incompetent CSO from South Africa. Went through a few of them today and then bit the bullet on the last one and took the chance.
They phoned back and priced it up properly. I booked and gave card details, confirmed points capping out. Said I would hold until it is ticketed, they said can take up to 24 hours, couldn't be bothered pushing it anymore. So will wait and see if it gets ticketed in the next 24 hours. She said she will call me when she is back on shift again within 24 hours regardless if it is ticketed or not, and said she will try and push it through ASAP.
If all this fails then I will book the six legs online I can and then add the last one to the booking. In hindsight I probably should have done that from the start, but hey. I'll report back when ticketed (or not ticketed).
EDIT - Also the recent information from onetonnerodeo about the LATAM thing pushed me towards the phone, as I have a LATAM flight in my itinerary.
