Hello all. Planning a flight through the CX website. All goes well until essentially payment then it wants to combine flights and it reprices them at significant premium. I cant see any minimum stay rules either.
Looks like this SYD to HKG (stop for a few days) and then to BKK or SIN (stop for a few days) before transit back to HKG and then onto connection back to SYD (stop time is 4 hours so no issue with MCT).
The app holds up the last leg and says as stopping in HKG less than 24 hours it can either combine the flights or I can stay longer. If i combine them so it is essentially BKK or SIN to SYD via HKG then it pushes the price up by about $1500.
So I look to stay past the 24 hours but then it wont let me book J seats out of SIN instead pushing to PE apart from one flight which has a horrible arrival time and would effectively mean two nights in hotel bookings realistically.
Am I missing something here with the requirement to stay in HKG? As I said there appears no minimum stay requirements in the fare rules. Its a shame as it was a good fare and worked well with times.
