Senior Discount
So, I was looking at the Business Class sale in particular between HNL-ICN, and in doing some booking searches, found the fare rules -
Fare rules for fare type: Adult
USPCL231
which in part say:
Since passenger is over 60, I'm trying to see if can get this discount -
I don't see anything on Asiana's website that would provide a SENIOR based fare; none of the online agencies I've tried work either. I called Asiana US Reservation center, and was told the discount is valid, but they charge a "lot more" to book over the phone, so I should use Expedia or Orbitz; when I tell them there is no discount on these sites, she told me I need to call them. Good luck - with Philippine call center? (I did try and result was as I expected: total waste of time).
Does anyone here know how to get this Senior Discount?
(Update: So, I got this fare text from Orbitz on the final screen before payment - https://www.orbitz.com/book/tripDeta...8#1-USPCL231-6
and the Other Discount text still shows, but when I check it on Expedia, there is no such provision. I'm wondering if my inquiries have resulted in a correction to the rule with old text still cached by Orbitz, or if there is some other reason why the text of this rule on Orbitz doesn't match the text of the same rule on Expedia.)
