Yeah, I don't get some of the pricing:

- MFM-TPE-FUK rings in (correctly) at 15k for Business. 1157nm per Great Circle Mapper.
- MFM-TPE-KIX costs 50k for Business. 1375nm per Great Circle Mapper.
- MFM-TPE-NGO also at 50k in Business. 1454nm per Great Circle Mapper.
- HKG-ICN-FUK also costs 50k in Business. 1420nm per Great Circle Mapper.

Mind you, this isn't a "dynamic pricing" thing -- I picked flights that are available individually at 15k in Business. But the connection somehow bumps it up to 50k.

I'll give 'em that offering no medium-distance (say, 1500-2200nm) band, but rather charging 50k for Business flights of >1501nm is a smart move designed to curb abuse in Asia (which obviously was a problem under the old program). But please, could we at least have flights up to 1500nm price correctly?
