I am now attempting to purchase the ticket. I am wondering what my options are. I know I can book it online, but there I pay the higher British Airways fare. I would like to pay the American Airlines fare I was quoted. If I call American Airlines in the UK, will they accept my American credit card to make the purchase? Alternatively, is there a way to phone AA in Canada to make a purchase through Canada so I can pay the lower UK price.

As a final alternative, can anybody recommend a good travel agent in either Canada or the UK who can purchase my ticket for me and send me the e-Tickets, at a decent price that wouldn't eat into my savings by booking it through AA instead of BA?

Thank You for your help and advice. As always, any comments, recommendations, or improvements on my itinerary are requested and appreciated.
Have you priced it using the online tool, and if so what was the difference? Is it worth the hassle?

I have never had trouble with foreign AA stations accepting US credit cards for purchase of RTW tickets.
