I'm looking at some flights to Europe that have YYC-FRA-XXX-FRA-YYC with FRA-XXX-FRA operated by *A partners.

Price to book the flights I'm looking for on Expedia (found via Google flights) is about $3600, which is what I see it for on ITA Matrix as well.

AC wants almost $8300!!!!!

We're not talking about a few hundred bucks here, we're talking about more than doubling the price of a TATL itinerary for booking a couple of ~2-hour flights as AC codeshares vs the operating carrier's flights.

I know AC thinks we're stupid, but does it really think we're that stupid? I'm insulted. In fact, I might book this whole thing with BA out of sheer spite.
Call AC and try and explain. Maybe something will come of it? I'd be curious to know
