My overall cost is 7000, which lines up perfectly.
I am about to call AA and ask them to switch to RJ for the first segment. Let's see if they are able to do it and give me RJ base fair.
Yeah, if AA is using the QR fare, it never went down when the currency devalued because the QR fare was always in US$. The base fare in EGP is 141,000 EGP for DONE4 and 145,000 EGP for DONE5. Switching the first flight to AT, RJ, BA, or IB should use the EGP base fare, then you 'should' be able to pay the $125 fee to change it to QR right after ticketing.

Worth note, there's no YQ from Japan, only YR, so it tends to make the ex-Japan itineraries a lot easier to route since you don't have to think about higher YQs on certain carriers. ex-OSL has really high YQs on some carriers so can end up significantly more expensive than ex-Japan unless you're optimize for YQ.
I'll have to check out ex-South Africa, that would be interesting as well since I believe that would allow the full 4 stopovers in both Europe / ME and Asia. Something you don't get in ex-Japan or ex-OSL (or ex-CAI) itineraries.
