YQ isn't listed in the above line (it's in the "detailed tax information" breakdown); I'm presuming some YQ was paid on top of this as these fares are usually priced using the "cheap base fare, high YQ" trick.

The way the fare code is listed, with the slash separating two parts, makes me suspicious that this is in fact some type of bulk/consolidator fare. Most fare codes look like "TLXP20GB", not "TLXP20GB/JUW37". If this is actually a consolidator fare, it raises the question of why in the !@#$ the DM line sold you such a thing....
