Update/Another dodgy offer
I've just had another "dodgy" offer from the same travel agent, who is the corporate provider for one of my clients.
I need to go A-C-B-A.
The agent suggested a dodgy return A-B-A (throw away the return), a dodgy return C-B-C (throw away the return that is some weeks hence), a single B-C and then a dodgy return B-A-B (throw away the return.)
This is taking the p*ss to a pretty serious degree IMHO and poking the airline (same carrier for all flights) with a sharp stick.
So I have refused this offer and following my own research, booked two returns, A-B-A and B-C-B, saving over 250 euros on the barmy schedule form the agent.
Having studied the fare rules, I cannot see any problem with doing this, since I am not altering either itinerary.
The fact is that I have a meeting in country C, then go to country B for 3 days, returning to country C for 2 days, before returning home. So the flight sequence will be A-C-B, then B-C and then C-A.
Bealine, do you think that this is a legit itinerary? NB: carrier is not BA
