Seeking TA with OneWorld knowledge/experience

We're planning an Asia trip for next September/October, and I'm looking for TA help with a relatively complicated J class ticket ex-HAN or ex-CMB back to the U.S.

I'm seeing some very nice QR and AA fares ("nice" means little or no cancellation fees, low change fees, "unlimited" stopovers, open returns etc.), but I don't want to deal with either a specific airline's ticket desk (it's always uncomfortable explaining why you'd prefer their partner's metal, or their metal but their partner's codeshare flight number) nor one of the big online TAs (they typically don't cater to refundable J-class fares, and often do not offer enough flight segments for stopovers).

This board provided me an outstanding recommendation for an ICN based agent a few years back (when OneWorld fares from ICN were great bargains), but I suspect that the location of the agent is of no importance for our itinerary next year. If specific names and personal experience is inappropriate for public consumption, please feel free to PM me. TIA!
