I'm trying to purchase tickets from Chicago to St. Louis.
The website says the base fare for the trains I want are $24 down and $32 back. If I select two tickets for each leg, I get a total of $48 + $64, or $112.
The wrinkle comes in when I try to make the tickets Business Class. The website says it'll be $20 more per ticket, which is fine. What isn't fine is suddenly the base fare jumps up to $66 per ticket on the way down, and there's a similar bump back. Then there's the $20 per ticket tacked on top of that.
I know how the price buckets work, but why is it I can get two base fare tickets at one price and then the price suddenly jumps for the Business Class fare? I thought the $20 per ticket is supposed to cover that.
