Thanks again!
Keep in mind that different airlines calculate the surcharges/fees/taxes differently, as well, and that you may have better luck getting availability with some airlines than with others.
I had a RTW trip back in June, and LH came in at a couple hundred dollars more than UA. But, when I changed the reservation, LH was able to book a flight on SQ that UA didn't see any availability to.
