EY AMS-SYD Business Class round trip Euro 2,500 (book via EY website)
For some reason the fare price seems to be 40% cheaper when booking via the official Etihad website. The ITA Matrix does not display the discounted air fare.
Google Flight Search link: https://www.google.com/travel/flight...1NN7CTASUA7tE8
Why is the ITA Matrix showing a different price? Is this still the correct fare code (from ITA Matrix) Z8RV4NL ? If not, how to find the discounted fare code and fare rules?
Is this a good deal?
The Matrix isn't always correct. There are the usual GDS's fees as they are displaying the price to you if you were a 3rd party TA. Booking directly as many people here do doesn't encounter them. That is for small differences.
For larger ones like this. The option can vary from self fuel dumps which isn't the case here. Taxes and fees are the same. The base fare is only different. It can be a mono channel pricing discount and such.
In this case this most likely what's responsible NL GDS - BREAKING DEALS AMST060. Only showing on EY website and not on matrix that sees TA inventory.
EY offers a different dare basis then OTA's. ZGV4NL for EY direct and Z8RV4NL for OTA's
USD/EUR 2500 in business from Europe to Sydney is a great deal IMO!
Just below pre Covid prices. 3k was the usual. With some deal in the 2.5-2.7 range.
Prices are going down. For the current age a good price. Some of the other ones aren't that good.
