I've had mixed results with the fare matches our corp department has handled. They generally do come back with a fare match, but sometimes will tack on a premium for the non-stop if you're sending them a competing itinerary with a connections. I'm not sure what the reasoning was for the surcharge on the cases that they came back, but I'm guessing load and/or level of competitor comes into play.
