Now it says that 2 stopovers are permitted for $150 each, ok, I thought so on the outbound sector I added in Brisbane as stopover 1 and Nadi, Fiji as stopover 2, I figure that the total should now be $825 + $300 = $1125 or somewhere around there but when I put it into the tool I get a quote for $1375... what gives?
The cheaper fares do not allow routing via NAN, so the return sector is priced using the more expensive SLRT fare, which is ~$400 more expensive (on a half-round-trip basis):
