Southwest "Multi-City" Fare Pricing
Just made a curious discovery that I had never seen before, maybe somebody else has?
I was booking a ticket from OAK-DEN in February but prices were a bit high...so as usual I tried seeing if buying two separate segments using the "Return to" option to Denver instead of back to Oakland would be cheaper. So I searched for an OAK-BUR-DEN fare and while the individual segments were $110 and $101 each, the total ticket priced out to $175.
Saved me about $45 from buying a ticket from OAK-DEN (even with the connection) and the BUR fare I found wasn't offered as a choice when booking OAK-DEN.
I just found that odd because I'd never seen the Southwest site lower the price of the combined two segments. Maybe it was a hidden fare from OAK-DEN that just wasn't displaying originally?
