Fair play to you for ploughing through that text!

Those are very unusual restrictions to put on a ticket. The guy should probably have gone to see a travel agent. If it were me, I'd have just flown to LAX and made my way by surface to Ontario. Not sure I would have tried to put the US west coast and South America on a triangular ticket. If I had to, I would probably have booked a CWL to GRU return, forcing a long stopover in a Delta hub in the US. While on that long stopover, I would have bought a separate ticket to/from California.

Or better yet - This would have been something to use miles on. Ticket 1 - CWL to LAX; Ticket 2 - LAX to GRU: Ticket 3 - GRU to CWL
