Another Wideroe 'Mistake"
« on: November 30, 2013, 06:03:52 PM »
http://www.yvrdeals.com/vancouver-to-china-388-roundtrip-including-taxes-mistake-fares

I don't understand what is going on with Wideroe.

It seems like all the tickets from last week are being honored so I don't see why these would not be as well.

Wideroe uses Amadeus. I just checked Amadeus and the prices are loaded perfectly correct. I really don't know what Wideroe's reason will be this time.

Below is pricing from Amadeus GDS.

It looks like they shut their booking engine down now instead of adding more servers like last time.

Could be dead, site down to overload, or Wideroe took site down.

Like I tell you every time you ask that question. You have to price it as a WF ticket to see that pricing. You're pricing it as a UA ticket so it shows you the pricing on UA.com

  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

This is AC, not UA. Amadeus does not pair those cities on a WF code. It is AC flights and booked as such. The actual ticket is not going to be an AC ticket but the fares are pulled from AC inventory. WF does not have their own AC fares. They are able to ticket AC fares as they have an interline ticketing agreement.

You can price anything on any airline. On Sabre to price as WF you do "WPAWF". I don't know how to do it on Amadeus

Sabre is different.

Wideroe uses Amadeus, not Sabre.

You definitely shouldn't, although not likely WF will ADM, as they seem to be enjoying this. A TA should never manually price without a good reason (and IATA doesn't view dumping fuel on a glitch a good reason ;) )
