In case if anybody is interested - have managed to get AA RTW to price this. Base fare (as at today for DONE5 ex-OSL) is GBP 5,057. I have been told that the YQ/YR total is GBP 721 (no breakdown carrier-by-carrier was forthcoming; I am just told that it comprises GBP 22.70YQ + GBP 327.00YQ + GBP 84.50YR + GBP 287.20YR) and taxes on top are GBP 495. All booked through the operating carrier's own prime codes (i.e. no codeshares).

My guess is that GBP 327.00YQ is QR's YQ (based on a fixed amount that QR charge of USD 420 as implied by ernestnywang post above) and GBP 287.20YR is CX's YQ (based on the current per sector fuel surcharge of USD 92.20 x 4 sectors).

Again, anybody shout if they have any ideas on reducing YQ / YR but I suspect that, short of finding a Sabre agent that can autoprice and plate on QR (I know of none), there probably isn't much room here to reduce any further (especially as I understand that AS won't ticket OW RTWs)? TIA!
Tried to input your itinerary but Sabre will not autoprice even if I took out some of the segments. At most it will quote a LGLOB39 (with many sectors removed) with some sectors upgraded to premium economy. I could not figure out why. There is no DGLOB39 (at least not ex-OSL), so there is no way to autoprice that. Sorry can't help this time.
