Korean Air taxes
Today I noticed prices for fuel/fee have dropped a bit from when I checked a month or so ago. I also saw an odd situation and am wondering why it exists.
KIX-ICN-MAD taxes/fees are 285,200, about 100,000 more than when the tickets are separate.
KIX-ICN 68,900
ICN-MAD 112,200
I would have expected separate tix to be more, not less. Of course the mileage requirement is different, 45,000 for 2 separate tix and just 35,000 for the KIX-ICN-MAD.
Another thing I noticed is standby list for J isn't an option for KIX-ICN-MAD, but it is possible for ICN-MAD.
