I'm a flyer with quite some xONEx under his belt, but haven't ventured out on one for a while now, and my intuition for how to minimize taxes and fees is woefully out of date.

Now thinking of an ex-OSL DONE5 for later in the year - this detail about QR surcharges caught my attention.

For a ticket that will maximize QR, and to a lesser extent, CX, and JL sectors, which ticketing carrier is best these days, to minimize the surcharges involved?

AA-RTW desk would be my normal default (including AA marketed/operated on MIA-GRU), but if carrier imposed charges when ticketing through them really are around $200 a sector for QR, I maybe should consider another option, if a better one exists.

Can anyone here please advise?
