Meantime I saw in the original thread that UA was also available, and
started trying to construct a UA itinerary.

........Why are the AC reservations people so poorly trained, and why is it so
difficult for them to refer things to the rates dept? And why is it impossible for
us to contact the rates dept directly?
Some interesting experiences you had here. Baffling to be sure. I also had one of those with the rates' desk once. I moved on. Bought a ticket on another airline and credited elsewhere.


I also found this post in the thread to be fascinating in terms of routing and ticketing and mileage earning etc.
