However when we switch to departure to/from OSL, they quoted £4719 (great!) plus £2270 taxes and surcharges (booo, thats £502 more!).
I cannot find any reason for this extra YQ.As far as I can see, Iberia charge the same YQ to BOG from both OSL and ARN, and I believe it's the same YQ for NBO to both OSL and ARN coming home with BA. The online booking tool shows a much lower tax and surcharge fare figure (approx £500 less), but I cant get it to book my itinerary.
Any thoughts on how to get past this extra £502? Would it be lower booked through IB themselves, or another airline?
Many thanks in advance, Giles_G
Hi Giles_G
The same routing from Oslo, just been told by British Airways that you are not allowed hitting London 2 times, they see it as backtracking (unable to price in Amadeus).
While the exact same route in Travelport is pricing it, but unable to store the fare, reason, exceeds more then 20 taxes (must be done manually. so no guaranteed quote).
Created also on the RTW tool, valid routing but unable to price it because the flight from Miami to Los Angeles is in Y.
Any experts on this issue?
Giles_G thanks for your patience.
