I believe Apple take a cut of 'in app' purchases. Perhaps that's what you're seeing.

Some of you may recall that several months Ago there was a published report that showed customers who used an Apple product to purchase on-line actual paid more for things. It was based on the fact that Apple users simply pay more as their demographics places them in that category. I am a PC user so I am cheap, I pay less.:D

No.

Not in this case. Only when it's done through Apple's system. This is purchasing a product through an app, not an addition to the app itself. ;)

The ITA Matrix website and App (http://matrix.itasoftware.com) can be useful tools to get an independent price. To get the best price search strategy does matter (e.g., airlines/alliance/stop over cities/number of stops). The amount of options for most 1- or more stop routes is so large that the algorithm used by the search engines (airline websites, expedia, ITA, etc.) will colour the results. The advantage of ITA is that once you get a hang of its underwater codes you can direct the engine to specific results.

Haha, Apple takes a 30% cut. If they were taking a slice of this airfare you'd be really really disappointed with the pricing, not just a bit miffed :p

Then if you get AC fare basis codes you can just call AC reservations and get them to book it for you for free, regardless of whether the flights are codeshares or not.

Sorry, that should have been husband. :)

huntk was fixing my flights once again while I was in the air. ^
