BA used to do a fare quote for the whole itin, at the best published fare level, then use that quote to build the price for the RTW; remove the quoted fare, replace with the xONEx fare, keep the TFCs that quoted (removing or adjusting any that we knew needed it.) The YQ/YR would be whatever quoted for the underlying route/cabin for the point of sale.
Thanks for the info.
