You would best call AA in OZ.

The only real advantage in doing that is you may save on airline based surcharges such as fuel fines.

Because you are commencing the journey in Australia, you will pay the Australia fare. So there is no advantage in purchasing from another country, other than as Serfty says to purchase form an airline that does not add fuel surcharges to some of the sectors.

I'm only a new kid in the flight game, so this question may seem silly to some: Can I book RTW for MEL-LHR-MEL via JFK (for example) by ringing a TA or airline office in NZ or the US or elswhere? In other words, I don't have to actually start/finish in the country where I made the booking? Otherwise you have to fly to that country to start your trip, which sorta defeats the purpose.
Not RTW, but relevant, I just checked LHR-MEL-LHR on the Qantas UK website. It is just over $5000 in J. MEL-LHR-MEL on the Australian website is $9000+.
But you can't book MEL-LHR-MEL on the UK website, so how do you take advantage of the price difference?

You can take classic award or JASA to LHR to then do LHR MEL LHR. This assumes you go to for instance Europe every year...

BTW From other European countries you can get cheaper then 5000...
