I love fare buckets.

I have just booked a holibobs to St Lucia via VH online and the quote came up as £xxxx with Economy flights.

Interestingly it was £85.24 cheaper if I took the outbound in Upper.

It really would have been rude to refuse.
The things I have to suffer.
Snigger.

What fare code was it giving you for economy?

It did not say Blacky. The VH site just showed class options

Indeed and I'm sure you'll be very martyr-ish about it too !

First world problems eh?

East Winds Inn. Roll on mid July.

What an absolutely awesome result. Congrats on bagging such a bargain.

I've booked PE to St Lucia in September so look forward to reading your trip report.

Very jealous. I rang up today to see if I could bag an upgrade for my flight on Saturday. I was told it was £1,178 to go from PE to UC for the outbound leg!

What about a mileage upgrade I asked? I have the required miles. Sure, that should only be a couple of hundred pounds plus the miles.

Then I got put on hold.

Total cost of the miles upgrade? £1,256 plus 10,000 miles.

Resigned to sitting in a completely full PE cabin now even though there's tons of availability in UC Curse my ignorance of what a K fare actually was before booking it.

Just the eight and a half hours.

In fact the cost for the two of us, UC out, PE back came out at a total of £234.76 (ie £117.38 a head) more than the quoted price for Economy both ways!!

Seems like a good deal I thought, with considerable understatement.

Have you stayed there before. It is wonderful, just wonderful. I can see why they upgrade was cheaper than the economy flight - to keep the Y pax away.....

Honestly, you will love it.
