MFU: when is the "lowest " fare not the lowest...
I'm planning to use MFU on an LHR-ALA return in May and have a query that I'm sure the fare experts can handle in their sleep: if you use Fare Explorer for the lowest "straight" WT fare, you get a fare of c£590 - but if you go into the MFU section and say you want to u/g from the lowest WT fare (same flights, and this is a LONG way out for the ALA flights; I'd think they will currently be almost unbooked) you're quoted the best part of £800. Why? Guess these seats come from a different class/type/bucket/allocation but would be nice to know for sure.
