Strange BA Holidays pricing
I am sure that this is down to married segments, or compatible fare buckets or something along those lines, but today I tried to book the following:
LHR-SOF, SIN-KUL & ARN-LHR
as positioning flights for an ex-EU trip this summer all in CE/business as well as 1 day car hire in KL (only one day needed) using BA Holidays. Without the SIN-KUL leg it was a happy £334, the moment that I added the SIN-KUL leg it became absurd!
And that is on 3K so no Avois or TPs!! (the option for MH in J was £49 more)

You ought to be grateful it wasn't inflated as much as this!

What price came through to the next page? Price glitches often sort themselves out by moving the process along.
inwinder how managed bikkings BA lose because people see glitch prices like this and just decide to book elsewhere?

The next page showed the same price (although with the exact pence confirmed), I booked without the SIN-KUL leg in the end for £311.
