So the remaining options for getting the lower, point of origin, fare are:
- use the online tool
- get the ticket issued by a travel agent/airline office in the country of origin

If we can use a TA local to the starting country then I don't think this is a big deal. If I recall, I think back then even this wouldn't work as the TA would have to charge us the price of our residence and only Canadian TAs were allowed to charge the starting country fare?
Thanks!
