How far did you go into the booking process? I'm fairly certain it would have re-fared you at the final purchase screen. If not, someone forgot about something so if you're considering buying this fare I suggest you do it now. Right now.

I did a dummy booking and the same thing came up

SFO-ICN Feb 5
ICN-NRT Feb 12
NRT-LAX Feb 19

Fare: USD 5280.24

If I eliminate the stopover in NRT...

SFO-ICN Feb 5
ICN-LAX Feb 12 via NRT

Fare: USD 3204.48
Basis: DXKR Everything booked in D


Cheers

It seems like just a display problem - I would bet that there is some logic in the final purchase screen that parses the fare basis code based on something in the fare linear, and it's not doing what it's supposed to.

If the class of service says Business, trust it.

R/T D fare to NRT or ICN?

Cheers

Again... M shows up by design when a fare involving a HIP check is displayed on united.com.

I thought it was the same as the SFO-ICN fare, but I could be wrong. I didn't pay much attention, as I had no intention of actually purchasing the fare - I was just checking seat availability for upgrades.

Sorry for the dumb question, but what is a HIP check??? I haven't seen that hat here yet.
