Companion pricing is $760.83 for two people, $189.63 higher than the fare for one person.

Any thoughts as to why that is? Is there a flaw in the AS pricing logic or the pricing logic in my head?
They have to price out of the same fare bucket, so the price of the first ticket is $611.20, the second is $99.00 plus taxes of $50.63? The taxes do seem higher than normal.
