Why CX Finances are in a Mess [bad fare quotes]
I was advised about a Sale they were promoting
So I looked for Round-Trip PE Seats for a friend from Manchester -UK to Bangkok in August...here's their Great Sale offer in their booking Portal:
Premium Economy
Flex
Pre-book seats
GBP£100 charge for rebooking
110% Asia Miles accrual
Price per adult from
GBP £7,689.39
Clearly either their Revenue Control or Web Developers have a problem.

Who advised you of the sale? I'm not familiar with exUK fares but I'm guess that's expensive considering it's PEY, anyway did you book through the promotion page or directly on the main home page?
I norticed that the website will not give you the promo fare if booked on the main homepage, you have to find the specific promotion page and book thorough that specific page to get the promotion fare

It's bad IT.
They file fares only visible in certain locations based on their 'old school'' thinking.. Meanwhile the continue to lose business
Iata Matrix
HKG JFK 9000+ usd. on CX
Same route on so many others.. 5000.
CX isn't worth it.
Sure many of us have local agents or go to TPE or what not.. However If I was sending staff you JFK.. 9K Vs 5K... Easy choice.
CX used to have a captive market.
The world is a different place.
I still fly them. This week from BKK.. Next week KA to REP.. but its not automatic.

For some..
But i've worked for employers that motivate employees by allowing them to keep half of all savings generated.
So if corporate TA put me on CX for 9K and I could do one stop 5K, and keep 2K... i know my choice.
Its easy to spend other peoples money
