rules for issuing SOTO tickets
apologies if this has been discussed before, but couldn't find any clear answers when searching previous threads.
i'd like to know if are there any definitive conditions where an airline will or will not issue SOTO tickets at the lower fare (of the origination point)?
specifically, i just called LH in SIN to ask if they would sell me a FRWSTAR1 originating from JNB at the South African fare. first sector is LH from JNB to FRA. not surprisingly the answer was NO, but i'd still like to know if there are hard and fast reasons why....
a couple years back i used to purchase SOTO tickets in SIN on SQ originating in India, at the Indian fares, until SQ plugged that loophole.
