That doesn’t explain AA pricing the same as BA trans Atlantic when AA to South America is around US$45.

isn’t it a joint venture? They charge the same.

Exactly! There are so many "moving parts".

But AY and IB are in that same partnership and QF only passes thru US$105 and US$150 respectively. Not US$1500!

BA and AA have their own JV which predates a separate JV of which IB and AY are a part. The latter does not share YQ rates.

So, yes, many moving parts, but it is what the API Qantas calls returns when booking online.

Going back to POC; when searching it is needed. Sometimes you see less availability on some routes, sometimes more, but the agent you call to make changes to a booking will generally only see availablity for bookings from the port your itinerary commences
