There is no "explanation," at least not according to the usual definition of the term [. . .] yet again answering a question about why there is such a rule with "because there is such a rule." |
I liked it. I thought it was a good explanation.

The thing is, I traveled frequently during 04/05 with my Japanese friends, and we were always charged the same through H.I.S., which is why I strongly feel that the price differences were for specific tickets only. This kind of feels like one of those 'let's agree to disagree' situations.

No, no, no. That couldn't be further from the truth. Although the good lord knows I waste money on frivolous things, I always research airfare prices. Up 'til now I've never had any problems with H.I.S. and they've always been the cheapest way to go. Perhaps it's because I only fly to other Asian countries? |
