Administering Tickets

As my work brings me all around the world, and my employer have not been willing to accept my change of address to the other side of the world, I have to administre tickets by myself. Atleast as long as the work keeps me in Europe.
Without a 100% certainty of when I can travel, and where from, ordering tickets in advance can be a strugle. I ended up ordering an Air France ticket from Trondheim the day after scheduled crew change, and a return for arriving Trondheim the day before next scheduled crew change. But Air France only brings me to Rio de Janeiro, so I had to find another way to organize the ticket for the last leg, to Vitoria. I phoned round to several ticket agencies, but nobody could help me without printing a paper ticket, and sending it to me proved dificult. The solution was to walk up in Edinbugh one slow day, and buy the ticket from a small local agency. The tickets is abit more expencive when bought in Europe, but atleast I have a seat on the plane to Vitoria, where my wife will meet me on the airport.
I am now counting the days to when I see my wife again.
