So, I go to res, pick schedule and pick the prefered outbound and inbound, and it comes back with $240
Can anybody explain?
They want to charge you more (e.g. maybe THEY know it is the most desireable, too) , and the $240 fare is neither "part of" the first one nor the second one, it is a new third one. And $240 is what it costs. Who said they have to charge the average of the two? It is not the same as either.
