You could book through a TA, have them tkt on AY, then just deal with AY after the first flight has been taken. You don't have to make subsequent changes through the TA.

Or just call AY to book - RTW trained agents are less likely to turn you away - the chat agent may have been speaking generally (unless they were RTW trained?). Call and try to book with AY, at least try until you've been turned down a few times.
