Pilots ticket prices

Hi Konny,

I've been taking one of the CBFS Vikings for a protracted long haul and reached a point where the next legs can only be done on my day off. So.. I decided to leave the old girl where she was (Al Massira) and buy a ticket back to EGLL to continue normal domestic routes on my 'On Days'

One thing struck me when I bought the ticket.. the cost.. v$665!

My routing from the UK to Al Massira is as follows..
Northolt to Merignac (pax ticket price v$101)
Merignac to Anglet (pax ticket price v$68 )
Anglet to Gibraltar (pax ticket price v$107)
Gibraltar to Al Massira (pax ticket price v$101)

This little lot amounts to v$377 for all those pax who endured the entire trip. How then was I charged v$665 for a ticket back to the UK (noting that LHR is 5nm closer than Northolt!)

Something, somewhere is not quite right me thinks.

Regards

DaveB

Quantum already told me about the problem yesterday. I just fixed it and you should always have to pay the standard price now.

Hi Konny,

That's great

. I always expected to pay 'standard rate' anyway (though I've heard recently of pilots on a US VA paying around 10%)

I once paid 5$ for a ticket between San Francisco and Oakland where the standard airline price was 58v$, but the airports are only about 5 miles apart, every other ticket seamed to cost much more than the standard airline price. I think a change to use the standard airline rte is a good one.
