There is a huge price difference when putting the other city on the existing booking, even in Q. Thanks for any insights.

Does AY charge you to drop the last segment? I seem to recall an FT restriction about circumventing airline policies. I would be cautious about buying a flight on the same carrier as the one you are skipping. While people with the same name can travel on the same day, they usually don't have the same birthdate. That said, this seem to be more of an AY issue than an AA one.
