I am thinking of doing a DCIR22 soon ex HKG and wanted to see whether I should use CX (advantage is I can hold the reservations longer and get better service - due to DM) or AA (which is not bad, but when I change date and time there is a bad issue with Sabre where it requires a reissue of the ticket which causes problems with the synchronisation of the booking some of the time on non AA/Sabre airlines.
Also with AA they sort of force you to take the codeshare flights which has less availability and when you want to change to the actual carrier I have encountered resistence.

If the difference is only 1-200USd I might forgo this.
I booked an AONE4 with AA using codeshares ex-JNB. My notes show that for JNB-JFK BA's YQ was ZAR5246, AA's YR was ZAR2083, a difference of about USD320. If you're comfortable with ITA you can extract that information fairly easily.
