No doubt some overpaid wizz kid in his teens is responsible for this mess.
The only advantage is I might get some flight bargains due to the errors showing up
It's a different booking engine behind the scenes... so not so much a pricing 'error', but rather a new mechanism for pricing flights.
As you can tell, the new site prices by segment, rather than as a whole trip. That alone is a big change, especially for those of us who are used to checking in quickly to see what a round-trip costs... takes more mouse-clicks to do that now.
