Airline pricing rant, LYC

Posted by ty97 Feb 5 '09, 09:04

I need to go to Japan and then India next month. Booking US - Japan, Japan - India, India-US would make sense, right? But it costs over $4500.

Alternatively, booking a round-trip US-Japan or US-India, and then booking a separate round-trip between Japan and India totals out to about $2000 less.

But, that means that I have to fly home via the following routing:
Inida-Hong Kong-Tokyo (stop, stay at hotel overnight)
Tokyo-US next day

Or, if I want a more direct flight home (I do) then I have to fly out
US-Delhi-Hong-Kong-Tokyo

I hate airline pricing models.

- Doesn't seem to be an option, because only two continents. - ty97 Feb 5, 09:08
Is there another place you could go between Japan/India instead of US that would make it that cheap too? -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 09:06 1
- I have to start and end in the US of course - ty97 Feb 5, 09:07
