I have tried the Amex plat concierge, but the experience was not that good (fine for point to point, but they got very confused with something more complex).
Will keep looking.
Thanks again for the help.

Can't speak to yours, but it's always worth approaching someone you like. They may well want an upfront annual fee because there are no economies of scale for two pax, but doesn't mean they won't do it. When there's only one flight a week out of Timbuktu and only one seat left, the TA who can get it for you is worth their weight in gold.
