On the other hand - since you're doing the booking through a travel agent, he/she should be the one doing the negotiation/solution and not left up to you.

I do understand your dilemma. However upon reviewing your past postings about this particular route between AKL-APW, it *can* be issued by AA. Your travel agent should know what to do. If he/she doesn't, then perhaps you ought to be looking for someone who knows what they're doing.
