Hi,

EDI-LHR-SFO-LHR-EDI
Dep 31st Dec (o/night LHR) rtn 8th Jan
Business(bmi) UC VS
£2320 on Expedia ( Fare code ZLAP)

Cheapest vis VS FC £ 2440
same flight times.

Anybody know the reason why the difference exists?

PS both are not bad considering that buying two separate tickets would be £2215 VS and £310 BD

Regards
TBS

As a person who likes to shop around, I have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as 'the best way to book a flight'.

This combination may be cheaper on expedia, but a slight variation of search (or even making the same search another day) may bring completely different results.

If anyone knows the logic behind the variations, would they please share the secrets [:I]

Dunno why there's a difference in the fares, but if you're considering that return date from SFO, you'll know at least one person in the Clubhouse & on board ;):D

That's why it is cheap - they know the bar supplies will be running low half way over the Atlantic [}:)][}:)];):D
