I haven't called anyone yet because I hoped to book online. Agents aren't always on top of all fares, even when you give them detailed information.
BTW, AmEx Platinum Travel cited over 9000 USD for the same itinerary. Agent said she didn't know why...
When you clicked through with Expedia, what did you get?
I wouldn't ever use Amex Platinum Travel. They simply do not know anything. I've called a few times, and never a knowledgeable person. One person was telling me it was on CX but going through PEK. I asked to confirm. She said yes. Then I asked again, and finally she said "oh yeah!" And realized it was on CA.
I've found Orbitz to be my best bet, and one time called in to have them ticket (too complicated and wouldn't show up online) and they were decent.
