Whenever I click on multicity flights, and design an itinerary with connecting flights (ie less than 4 hrs for North American connections), the web site always adds the fares of the indivual segments, rather than providing a combined fare, which would be lower than the sum of the fares of the individual segments. Does anyone know how can get the web site to give such a combined fare?
Are you sure that your intinerary follows all the rules of the fare you are trying to get? I used the multi city tool to force a longer connection in YYZ than what was being shown by entering LHR-LAX on a LHR-YYZ-LAX route and the fare came out the same
