Thanks to all who responded to my original post

With the IST price rises it looks like my best bet now is to head to Sweden. More expensive than some alternatives, but I can get a oneway budget flight to one of the more remote airports that Ryanair likes to call 'Stockholm' . So it now looks like:
ARN-LHR-YYC-overland-SEA-SFO-LAX-LAS-LAX-NAN-CHC(via AKL no stopover)-SYD-AKL-NRT-HKG-BKK-KUL-SIN-JNB-FRA-ARN

My question now is, what's the best way for me to go about booking/ticketing this?

Also, I've found this thread which refers to using a Canadian travel agent. I've seen this mentioned a couple of times, what is it about Canadian travel agents that allows them to do this? (and can I still do it).

thanks again

Canadian law prohibits the higher prices.

Can anyone recommend any Canadian agents to use? (or do I just contact an AC office in Canada?).

thanks

How about looking up Google under travel agents in any Canadian city of your choice?

It would be easier if you have an American Express card, so you can book though any Amex travel offices in Canada.

Thanks, I'd thought of that. I was really trying to find out whether anyone could recommend a particular agent who had previously handled this kind of booking (ie. non-Canadian resident and non-Canadian start point).

I do have an Amex card, but it's a UK sterling card, so I'll still end up paying a fee on the currency exchange
