The reason I asked if because when I searched at booking each flight individually (which I couldn't do, I guess one of the flights I wanted had no availability) I found YVR-ORD was 12,500 ORD-MDE was another 25,000 then MDE-YVR was 25,000 so that's 62,500. Exactly why I asked, and all the chart says is 50,000 which was what I'd find if I booked it as THEY wanted me to. Again this is why I asked.
After taking the help link, I searched "fee" "call center" "call center fee" "booking fee" and never found the answer, so thanks for begrudgingly answering that, just saying $30 would've sufficed.
What I meant by burning time, is people are CONSTANTLY .....ing about hold times on the AP line, so why would I then a) do that myself and b) create a longer line for the next person behind me who likely has a more legitimate need, when someone here probably knows the answer right off the top of their heads. So no, I'm not trying to waste your time and save mine, I'm trying to save everyone's time.
