She told me they needed to investigate and let me know their decision later.
The next day they manually changed fare to distance (special fare).
That's a highly interesting data point. Did you look at the fare rules before booking? Did it indicate it was a bulk fare? As a package deal I'd expect it, but always hard to say for sure.
