I'd wager that the BIETA between LO/BD specifies that YQ is to be charged on all coupons and does not make exceptions for award tickets. Whether LO charges it on its own stock is irrelevant, the BIETA terms are what BD has to apply. It is the exact omission that allows the "fuel dump" to occur when the converse does not exist in other BIETAs.

For the uninitiated, BIETA stands for Bilateral Interline E-ticketing Agreements - and that's refers to a table published in the IATA (International Air transport Association) MITAM (Multilateral Interline Traffic Agreements Manual), a kind of bible that airline types use.
Simples.

Does Intranet access come cheaper than just buying the data itself?
