Select more expensive outbound, inbound price increases?
I imagine this is something to do with selling classes. I'm just wondering if there are any ways around it (such as phone booking perhaps).
Here's my current scenario:
It doesn't make sense to me when the inbound is a different cabin, regardless of whether I was offered a reduced First rate on the outbound. It could just be the way it works - perhaps can someone enlighten me? |

It could just be the way it works - perhaps can someone enlighten me? You may however be describing something different which is that not all classes can be combined. Possibly A cannot be combined with I - I don't know if that's the case but the best way to find out is to call BA or your TA. Cheers economyman |

Then proceed to a firm price quote for each specific potential itinerary that you're thinking about. That will almost certainly be exactly the price you'll get if you phone BA to book, because the "very good price" is an artefact. |
Thanks chaps!
I worked it out and it was actually very simple after all that. All BA had done was 'upgrade' the unavailable Club seat to First for £499. Of course, rather than just adding £499 to on the outbound total, they spread £249 across both legs as you have mentioned above. It should have been pretty obvious to me, but it took a while to get there! |
