So a fare might be $198 RT + tax = $258 RT total, including taxes, for example. You could use a $150 but not a $200 ecert on the $198 fare.
Nope. Thought the same thing and triple checked and I am indeed looking at out the door pricing. Very strange. Is is possibly because the $161 flight has 2 stops and thus possibly requiring more landing type fees? The $185 fare is direct both ways.
Just looked at a $195 flight with 3 stops and out the door price is $250 with taxes. Huge variance there.
Its just very strange.
