Sorry, I meant to clean that up.

The basic routing for all four examples was the same, just with varying origins in an effort the get the "Carrier Surcharges".

To isolate these:

Code:

1. BA Ex JNB:  JNB-(BA)-LHR-(AA)-LAX-(CX)-HKG-(CX)-JNB

Multiple Carrier Surcharges/Fees:606.00 ZAR
Multiple Carrier Surcharges/Fees:2,776.00 ZAR

(~USD285)

2. CX ex LAX: LAX-(CX)-HKG-(CX)-JNB-(BA)-LHR-(AA)-LAX

Multiple Carrier Surcharges/Fees:48.00 USD

3.  AA ex LHR: LHR-(AA)-LAX-(CX)-HKG-(CX)-JNB-(BA)-LHR

Carrier Surcharge/Fee:329.00 GBP
Multiple Carrier Surcharges/Fees:32.60 GBP

(~USD540)

4.  BA ex LHR: LHR-(BA)-LAX-(CX)-HKG-(CX)-JNB-(BA)-LHR

Carrier Surcharge/Fee:164.50 GBP
Multiple Carrier Surcharges/Fees:32.60 GBP
Multiple Carrier Surcharges/Fees:99.70 GBP

(~USD440)
