Posted this question earlier, but a tangential dialogue broke out and I didn't really get a direct answer. Hope I'm not violating forum protocol by asking again, but I'm a little better informed and can therefore be more specific.
Want to travel the following route:
YYZ-UIO-LAX-APW-NAN-AKL-BNB-JNB-BUD-ORY-YYZ.
United's website shows a Toronto-Quito flight via Miama, but Air Canada does not show that route, nor can they get me out of Ecuador and up to LA with any StarAlliance member. Is this so? Ironically, Air Canada priced the trip, but without actually trying to book the reservations. Is this itinerary doable? If so it will be significantly less expensive than the OneWorld fare.

thanks for your help.
