hi ernestnywang,

I (finally) had a proper look at the fare constructions between the new and old tickets

Old ticket
ER99ESHR was 870 (435/direction)
New ticket
same ER99ESHR is now 1043 (521/direction)
IR99ESAR is 1591 (795.direction)

The fare difference was
1/2 of the IR99ESAR (795) + 1/2 of the new-priced ER99ESHR (521) - old ER99ESHR (870) = 446
ie Upfaring the outbound to I class also forced-repriced the same E class inbound to current high price (521-435).

Is this the normal? Win some lose some etc?

Thank you!
