However, am I taking from this is sometimes a return from an outstation via lhr to another destination can get cheap CE tickets that don't come up on a one way?
I was quoting from
ENTP, so that context needs to be added.
CE fares become cost effective if there is a Saturday night involved. And a return. But! It doesn't have to be a CE return. And! It doesn't need to be PMO either!
So CE single from PMO is:
427€
Return, with a Saturday night is: 464€
Return, Saturday night but "returning" ET is: 393€ - so we are saving money already
Or:
PMO-LHR//LGW-AMS - on one ticket CE throughout: 415€ (on the basis that the AMS service is going to be useful).
But! You can in theory (OK it's an ITA Matrix:
PMO-LHR//LGW-AMS, CE from Italy, ET from LGW:
323€
Now you'd have to call in for this, but it does work. Now believe or not, CE singles from PMO are pretty cheap, so this delta disappointed me since, for example, MAD, the saving can be much greater.
