So i am looking at some routing and i came across something odd.
So I was looking at 25 Mar SYD to SFO, 2 Apr SFO to LAX & 6 Apr LAX to SYD
In Y & J the flight offerings are QF73 to SFO, mostly AA direct flight's to LAX & QF12 to SYD
But i search this in Y+ and i get QF73, to SFO, mostly AA direct flight's to LAX & then AA flight back to SFO & then QF74 to SYD.
If i want to go on QF12 from LAX to SYD i need to pay another $800. or for $11 i can go LAX to BNE and BNE to SYD.
I know this is a query like asking why is water wet but the mind boggles at why its $800 more for LAX to SYD in Y+ but in Y & J they are just standard pairings.
In Y & J you arent even offered the option to go back via SFO. (By you arent offered i mean the search is broken and never comes up with options and QF web chat tell me there are no other flights). It wouldnt be an issue other than i want to go Y+.
In Y+ im also not offered any other options to go to SFO other than direct so while it could be a pairing issue its madness that Y & J dont have this.
Does anyone have any possible reason for why QF might be like this? i mean i know they want to get people on their direct flight but why only in Y+???
