Bundles are normally just for one direction -- they are displayed adjacent to the direction as this example shows

The bundle is for both segments, so the total of E+ for both segments (not just one), would be breakeven at $38 for the second segment and if it was also $49 like the first, it would have been a benefit of $11

It was generous for the agent to refund your misunderstanding

It is best to understand what you are purchasing, leads to fewer disappointments.
