Has anyone ever encountered exceptions to this where it has posted as a single transaction? I've read through both this thread and the old one, and it seems like the only example where it didn't go through as separate transactions per ticket is when people are applying travel credits. In that case, there's just one charge for the remaining balance due, but it's only a single amount regardless of how many tickets are involved.
In my experience with all the airlines, the purchase initially looks combined in my pending transactions (so 2x $75 tix shows as $150). When it moves to posted a few days later, it’s separate $75 transactions.
My recent rez of 4 award tix had pending total for taxes. Then posted with taxes per ticket (so 4 entries) and credit appeared 3 days later per ticket (4 credits). So I think multiples are fine.
