air fare pricing
Hi
We've had some relatives visiting from Calgary, we picked them up from Manchester airport as it was apparently cheaper to fly BA from Calgary to London and then on to Manchester than just in to Heathrow.
We have an invitation to visit them and I have been investigating flight costs and discovered it is cheaper to fly from Manchester to London and then to Calgary than to start from London.
This is true of BA and Air Canada (they offer MAN-CPH-LHR-YYC!)
I know there are LCC from MAN to YYC who are cheaper and direct but I was wondering if anyone could offer an insight in to how it is cheaper to fly further with the national carriers?
I have used 7/5/16 and 21/5/16 as dates and found £700 ish for national carriers or £450-500 ish for LCC.
