This was originally quoted around $750, a flat $500 YQ was slapped on top. Did not make sense to me as the only YQ-able leg was AC, even for DPS-YYZ it should not be that much. Called back twice agent was saying SQ has been charged YQ, what a load of bs.
I then changed return as DPS-SIN-PEK-ORD-YYZ, taking SQ then UA back. Had issue doing this as the agent is saying total 'taxes' is now $650. I asked him to calculate again, he said it's 'computer' calculated, I called bs and asked for someone else to check.
