I wonder if anyone could help me understand this...
I recently bought an economy ticket upgraded to UC with miles both ways. (All done in one transaction over the phone.) I was charged an amount that was rather less than I expected. When I look at the breakdown of what I have been charged, the fare component (not the taxes and surcharges) is exactly £100 less than I had anticipated. I double-checked and, yes, for the fare itself I was charged exactly £100 less than the available L-class fare for my dates and flights.
Could anyone explain to me why this might be? I assumed that one would pay the L fare and then various extra taxes and surcharges etc (which I had calculated more or less correctly). Is there a special basis for upgradeable fares or something?
I'm certainly not complaining
but I would like to understand the arithmetic behind it all if possible.
All help greatly appreciated!
