Could changing segment marketing carriers reduce Chesil's cost significantly as well as changing the issuing carrier?

the more general question is how does one optimize issuing carriers and segment marketing carriers?

Thanks for any thoughts.
If QR is in the RTW (ideally starting airline) and issued you have saving of approx. EUR800 with DONE3. More savings when DONE4 / DONE5 etc. Not about changing carrier.

All other OW carriers have higher YQ or Carrier Imposed charges.

Let me know your routing and i will check tomorrow.
