Buy two tickets, only one place in low fare bucket: both priced at higher bucket!
Hi everyone,

I have noticed an interesting anomaly in pricing. Say that the inventory for a given flight is Z2 P1. Suppose the P fare is $400 and the Z fare is $600.

If I want to buy only one ticket, the quoted price is $400, as it should be. But if I want to buy two tickets, the quoted price is $1,200 instead of $1,000. Why? You can easily work around this by buying the two tickets separately.
