Cancelling the entire ticket if it doesn't match my needs?
If you book with a partner, it is very difficult to map what their fare would translate into AC fare class/branded fare. I would rely on personal experience and not even what a ticket agent would tell you.
If you book with a partner, AC may not touch the ticket so no upfare specially if any part of the ticket is non-AC metal.
