RTW pricing discrepancy?
I am in the very early stages of planning a RTW trip. I checked Wandering Aramean's RTW fare pricing tool and it says that CRWSTAR1 ex-CPH is $6389. However, when I price out a simple CPH-FRA-SFO-NRT-BKK-CDG-CPH itinerary on *A website, it says that the estimated price is 8,222 USD (plus taxes). Is this because the site uses LH as the booking engine?

I use expertflyer, but I have not created a matrix.
ICN (7500) and NRT (7800) are still below most other cities. I believe PRG (7900) is still a better deal as well.
