Origin Open Jaw - no more Business Savers?
I've been looking at a AMS-DXB-MAN itinerary, and I've noticed that Business Savers are not available on the open jaw. If I do each leg separately (MAN-DXB-MAN & AMS-DXB-MAN), then all the legs show up as Business Saver being available.
I've tried it on a few Europe-DXB routes, and it seems to be pretty consistent.
What I have found is that they are still available if it's within the same country - LHR-DXB-MAN / DUS-DXB-FRA etc.
To be honest, I've only checked around 6 routes... so not comprehensive. But I wonder if this is another change? I guess it won't affect many people, but then, why would they do it?
Of course, it just be a glitch that will fix itself by tomorrow, and I'll look a fool
PS.. The Business Special fares don't seem to have made it to Europe yet

I'd be interested to know of any exceptions as much of my air travel involves OJ

I used to be able to price up AMS-DXB-MAN with J Savers. When did this change?

It basically says the fare is combinable with any other published fare to/from a station in the Netherlands, in any fare bucket. So you can go outbound J Saver and back Y Special, or F Flex Plus, or whatever. But it has to be back to NL(1).
