- Baseline (all T class): $1283.26, going through EWR in both directions.
- Option 1: Fix the EWR-BCN flight to W, allow SFO-EWR to price automatically: $1393.26, using a W fare from SFO-BCN and a T fare from BCN-SFO.
- Option 2: Fix the SFO-EWR flight to T and the EWR-BCN flight to W+: $5555.26, using a T fare from SFO-EWR, a Y fare from EWR-BCN, and a Y fare from BCN-SFO.
In order to get a combinable EWR-BCN fare, you had to go all the way up to Y... in both directions. May as well just list them with the GPU all the way through. You never know; maybe there will be a bunch of cancellations or something.

Am I reading that the difference of $1393.26 - $1283.26 =
$110.00
is all you would need to pay to UG to W? Thanks
