Solves all of your problems. CX fuel charges are higher than AA but lower than BA (at least were the last time I checked), and overal CX in YVR was a pleasure to deal with. So CX hasn't let you down, if anything has let you down it is the poor search on FT which failed to reveal to you that ticketing in Canada was an option!
Ok - this seems to be a wee bit convoluted but am I getting this right?

1: I could ring CX in YVR to get my DONE5 booked;
2: Once booked, I could request payment to be made over the phone with CX JNB ticketing at ex-JNB prices;
3: Ask whether it is possible collect tickets at JNB or get them posted to me?
