I have been trying to price economy tickets to BOM from BOS using AA/CX at Cathay's USA website. Of late, the booking engine only returns M or K fares, which are not mileage eligible. The only other choice is to price unrestricted coach fares, which are the same as the lowest business ones. Pricing the same fares on AA's website pretty much yields the unrestricted coach fare, regardless of whether I select the CX flights or the AA codeshare.
In the past, the CX website used to reliably give H fares, but this no longer seems an option. I tried calling the CX reservations desk, but they appear to have a fare schedule of their own, i.e. an M fare from LAX to BOM is USD 986; for the past 3 years the CX website H-fare was 1200-1400; the reservations desk is quoting me 2300!
Any one have any ideas what changed? Is there any way to get the website to price anything but the lowest/highest fares only? Is there any site where I can actually see all the published fares for any given airline?
Thanks!
P.S. This is cross posted in the AA/CX forums
