Meaning that "cannot use them together" is a valid argument?
I see E-Cert as a promo fare..... and ECV as a $$$ off adjustment to a fare ...
nwa.com allows entering one of each, but not two of the same!
When I purchased a flight, it priced out at the e-cert fare, with a asterisk that the ECV will be applied at purchase. Howeve r that did not happen upon purchase.
I looked carefully at both sets of rules (E-Cert PK036, and ECV). The former did not mention the latter in its restrictions, and vice-versa.
I am sure I am not the first person that this has happened to, so any comments will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
