Yes. They are very good - the only TA to be able to ticket all my complex itineraries including some 18 - segement RTWs which were a combination of around 5 fares end-on-ended together. ^
It is a KHI-YUL DFFPK fare, which turns out to be almost $1000 cheaper then just going till YYZ. It works out, because my parents (who will be using these tickets) go to YUL for business. They then use the YYZ-YUL-YYZ sectors for that trip.

The AC/PK agreement is correct; I have run into this problem before.
I will call BA to see if they can do anything, though I am not looking forward to explain my itinerary over the phone
Do they have any travel shops in Canada/US?
Thanks!
