- Enter the same itinerary as before (specifying CX as the first carrier)
- Get the same pricing as before
- Click on Proceed to Booking
- AND THE PRICE INCREASES
- looking at the list of taxes and charges, there is an additional line of "Multiple Carrier Surcharges/Fees" totalling AUD 297.70
Mmmm
What is a multiple carrier surcharge/fee? Is it something Qantas have made up (as a charge for them to have to deal with multiple carriers?) or is it various charged applied by multiple carriers and shown as a single value?
