When you change it to pricing in ZAR (as it would in the real world) using AA, EF doesn't return any fares for D or A anything. Using QR or BA gives the price at 101,110 ZAR. Converting at today's FX rates that comes to US$5639, close enough to $5585 for FX fluctuations to account for the difference.

So if I actually buy a DONE4, the USD price would be $5,585? Do you know if there's any way to make this apply to tickets purchased from the AA RTW desk? When I set purchasing city to DFW, that's the fare I got, but not for AA, which was significantly more.
