not surprising. they lure programmers to Amsterdam and then work them to death on their ancient perl system. we used to laugh about this back in the late 2000s. all these big tech booking companies are scum anyway, like expedia too. the base databases they all connect to are ancient and use regex to parse out of giant text fields. previously they could see each others booking info so prices would stay more competitive but then some airlines started pulling out to make their own about ten years ago (they were all jealous of southwest who started after these databases were created so they have their own). lots of dumb tricks in the airline industry, like sometimes two one ways cheaper than round trip, how soon before flight to book to get best deals, which airports are cheaper on certain days, etc. company i worked at had former travel agents that got paid lots of money to help us program these things. it's completely arbitrary.
