What is the correct way to book multi stop flights

I'm trying to book an UC round trip ticket, Outbound LHR-Tokyo, Inbound LAX-LHR for May 2010. However the Virgin website shows a figure of 5450. However, OPODO shows the same journey for 2750. It almost seems as if the VS website is taking my round trip as 2 one way trips and adding the two costs together. Am I doing something wrong on the VS website or is there a special we are meant to book multi-stop flights?

I also noticed that when trying to book the flight the VS website doesn't give me the option of booking a Limo as it usually does with UC bookings. What gives?

I would suggest you call the Premier Team and check the price with them given the huge difference between that fare and the OPODO one.

Virgin's website has a price promise - http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/gb/po ... rantee.jsp - but you do have to book the higher Virgin fare and then wait for a refund (plus jump through a few T&C hoops).

As the last poster says, I'd call and maybe use the price promise as leverage. Alternatively, why not book through Opodo? I've used Opodo for other airlines (Northwest, I think, pre-merger) and got a much cheaper price than I could find on the airline's website.

I tried to claim under the price match before and was refused as VS claimed that at the time I quoted, they wouldn't have processed the Lastminute Fare - the only way I could have proved this is if I have booked the lastminute fare at the time it 'was available' (the print out of the fare wasn't sufficient proof for them)
