The exception would be if the fare was non public - a public fare is required for the necessary calculation of taxes and fees.

Do you get them from with NCL connections? I'd be intrigued if any others from the regions are offered POUG's, purely out of curiosity. If there have been any on here apologies if I missed the relevant posts.

Lucky you and I think that is very much the exception than the norm and I've still to await my first one! My flights were never touched from initial bookings and 90-95% have been flights only.
