JFK-AA/CX-HKG
HKG-CX-NRT
NRT-CX-HKG
HKG-CX-JNB
This priced out at:
Fare 59,070ZAR
Tax 2,025ZAR
YQ 8,922ZAR
This was a reduction of 1,100ZAR or US$100 from flying AA TATL. The big question is AA 77W worth the $100 upgrade from AB?
I was told in multiple conversations that a computer calculates the YQ/YR therefore agents cannot give detail or breakdown of these. Is this really the case or was I being told to take it or leave it?
Finally got this ticketed. Had some issues with QR flights not confirming and the day I tried to ticket Mindpearl had to redo the whole ticket to get the QR flights confirmed. They also did the pricing immediately
Final Price:
Fare 58,940ZAR
Tax 1,826ZAR
YQ 5,904ZAR
I cannot explain the fact that everything was lower than when setup by the RTW desk and sent for pricing, but from now on I am calling SA directly!
