AA apparently won't ticket ex-CAI anymore either. Options are fairly limited for the time being. I'd honestly go with @earnestnywang's suggestion of looking for a Sabre agent that can ticket on QR stock.

But the last time I priced an ex-CAI, the YQ / YR was quite a bit higher than ex-TYO so even with the much lower base price the actual total difference was negligible, especially after positioning to CAI for it.
