The weird part to me is the way that LH inventory seems to depend upon connecting partner flights. Fares, I could understand, but changing inventory is weird.
It just generally seems weird...
Vie, it is both LH and OS, so it gets P.
Muc is LH, so it gets P.
Szg is LH, so it gets P.
Zrh is LH and LX, so it gets Z.
Gva is LX, so it gets Z.
Inn is OS, so a Z.
Vce is LH, gets Z
So from this...
LX=Z
Italy=Z
Fra=Z
LH if not in Italy or Fra, then P
OS, if not also serviced by LH, Z
Weird...
maybe I will do YVR and see if it is the opposite. It just seems weird. How would you like to be IT and have to write those pricing algorithms into the system?
