I see the fares on sabre. Here are AA's D fares:
AA CAICAI.RW 10MAR24 MPM
V FARE BASIS BK FARE TRAVEL-TICKET AP MINMAX RTG
1 DONE3 D¥R 7306.00 ---- -/¥ -/12M RW01
2 DGLOB34 D¥R 7924.00 ---- -/¥ -/12M RW02
3 DONE4 D¥R 7924.00 ---- -/¥ -/12M RW03
4 DONE5 D¥R 8149.00 ---- -/¥ -/12M RW04
5 DONE6 D¥R 9273.00 ---- -/¥ -/12M RW05
I don't 100% understand how the pricing works, but what I've seen is that the fare and validating carrier don't have to be the same airline. In theory you can have AA issue a ticket using another airline's fare, but it sounds like they don't even want to issue their own fare. I just play around with it till I see something I like. For example I think if you have CAI-LHR-BOS.... where the LHR-BOS is the AA flight number, sabre will use AA's fare, but if it's the IB flight number it will use the IB fare.
