BA Fare Structures
I know that this subject has been touched on before, but I would be interested if anyone can expalin the following.
I want to fly from my home here in Spain to Tampa, and as BA now fly from ALC to LGW I was hoping to book a seamless journey with them - albeit with an overnight stop in LGW on the out-bound journey.
However, if I book with them on the BA web-site, for a ALC-LGW-TPA and subsequent return flight, the fare is £822. However, if I book the trip in seperate sectors [ie ALC-LGW rtn and LGW-TPA rtn] the combined cost is only £588 - ie c£230 less. [I have not looked at how much EZY would charge for the ALC-LGW legs.]
I can appreciate that BA might want to build in a 'buffer' in case the TPA-LGW flight is late, thus meaning that they will have to compensate me for a missed connection, but this does seem to be a monumental discrepancy!
