pricing Q from a guy in reservations
OK, I read all these postings where you make the routings as complicated and long as possible for the cheepest fare. Don't worry I'm not a bean counter and I'm just glad that you are flying Air Canada. But if YXU-YYZ-YVR R is cheeper than YYZ-YVR R, then why don't you book your ticket starting at YXU and then just not take the DH1 flight. Show up at YYZ and if they ask come up with some story where you had unexpected business in the city and decided to originate here instead. Heck either way you end up doing the same flight out of YYZ, just one way you don't have to fly on the Dash.
Same with YYZ-HKG, you want to get the cheepest fare out of MIA, so why not buy the ticket for MIA but not take the MIA-YYZ leg?
I'm sure there is a very good reason, I just can't think of it 'cause I'm not into the pricing like all you FF's.
Just curious is all.
*******The Topic is supposed to be "from a guy NOT in reservations". Ooops. Oh well. **********
