Gee, you want us to explain airline prices?? Even for a regular round trip, sometimes it is cheaper to book two one ways. It pays to check.

calsail--I have often seen that situation, where it is cheaper to fly from one place, connect someplace and then on to your ultimate destination, than to book just the single flight of the connection place to the ultimate destination.
As I said, to expect airlines to make sense with pricing is folly.

Sorry, I don't know how you did that?? You can't book a roundtrip without a return date?

They put in a return date......just guessed on a date.. How crazy is that??!! It pays to check around. I usually start with Kayak, or one of the other travel sites, to get an idea of flights and prices, then go the the airline site to actually book. I was booking tickets for several folks in our group and the same flight went up by 30% in a 30 minute period. I think the Cylons have taken over (BSG reference)....haha.

They put in a return date......just guessed on a date.. Right. We just booked a return in two weeks. If we need to stay longer, we can always change the date and pay the difference. This was a last-minute trip starting tomorrow, so I’m not expecting the price to change much even if we have to adjust the dates. Regardless, it should be cheaper than paying $500 twice for two one way tickets.
