Strange Prices

[SP&S]

I was checking to see if the fare had changed for an upcoming trip and while cycling through the options found that premium could be a pittance more than value and much less than flexible.



We've reserved a roomette but if this occurs elsewhere it could be a loophole for somebody.

Maybe "ARROW" is more appropriately spelled "ERROW?"

How much is BC on a surfliner run like that usually?

 

[SP&S]

On that run, on that day,11 bucks per person.

We see that , what is the usual price. Is that exceptionally cheap?

From the post I couldn't make out the starting point; but the BC surcharge between SAN and LAX is $19 and OSD (Oceanside) is $10.

That was starting in SNC and appears to be the usual BC surcharge. I was able to do the same thing combining BC on the Cascades with coach on the Builder. It appears that the rule is: if any segment is in an upgraded class, the price drops to value + upgrade but retains the 100% refundability of flexible. Not terribly useful but still not what I would expect.
