The only way I know to get a full breakdown by carrier is to get a travel agent to run the itinerary for you.
Right, that's my point (which I made poorly, evidently.) The lumped-together YQ/YR total in
wytco0's fare summary is opaque as to both who did the calculations and what the per-segment charges were. As I said, I suspect the culprit is BA, but the only way to know for sure is to see the actual ticket numbers once issued, so you could see the prefix that indicates the issuing carrier, hence (presumably) who did the numbers (e.g. 001, AA, 125 BA and so on.)
I think I once got a full breakdown from the AA RTW desk but I can't find it now (years ago.) The ticket had been issued by AA's GSA in Cape Town, but the (then Dublin) AA rates desk had done the crunching.
