Booking airfare for a future trip? Lightning handles initial round-trip pricing differently than Concur.
How Round-Trip Pricing Works
- Initial Cart Selection: When a traveler selects their outbound and return flights, Lightning initially totals them as two separate one-way fares. This initial estimate may appear higher than expected and higher than other booking sites.
- Click "Continue": Travelers should click Continue to move past the cart and trigger automatic repricing.
- Final Fare: On the Review and Reserve page, Lightning automatically recalculates the itinerary as a discounted round-trip ticket (when applicable) and displays the lower final price.
