What you need to do is price this as one journey:-
  • LAX-LHR in WT+
  • LHR-DEL in WT+
  • DEL-LHR in WT+
  • LHR-LAX in WT+

The YQ is $850.00.

Then price this as one journey:-
  • LAX-LHR in CW
  • LHR-DEL in WT+
  • DEL-LHR in CW
  • LHR-LAX in WT+

The YQ is $1,130.00.

Then, for a check, price this as one journey:-
  • LAX-LHR in CW
  • LHR-DEL in CW
  • DEL-LHR in CW
  • LHR-LAX in CW

The YQ is $1,410.00.

That's why the numbers are the round figures of $280 and $560.

I am not sure how you did a dummy booking for
  • LAX-LHR in CW
  • LHR-DEL in WT+
  • DEL-LHR in CW
  • LHR-LAX in WT+

But I can only do that by pricing each segment as a single trip and then adding up the YQ on all of them.

You are correct about $850 on WT+ and $1410 on CW. But paying that full difference when I am only upgrading 2/4 segments sounds like a ripoff. But how do I tell that to the agents?? I'll try calling UK now.
