Limited Options for multiple 1-way plane tickets

[Matt-P]

I notice that Concur allows you to select multiple 1-way destinations at 3X the price that individual 1-way tickets would be to those same destinations, but does NOT allow you to manually enter (multiple)  individual 1-way ticketing..the only work around is to go through my company's travel section as they are not restricted by Concur...but this should be allowed in Concur, anyone spoken to the decision makers at Concur about allowing this feature or a workaround in Concur that isn't 3x the cost?

@Matt-P hello there. SAP Concur doesn't control the cost of airfare. We simply provide a booking tool that displays published fare amounts from the airlines. 

Could you provide screenshots of what you are explaining, please? Are you saying that if you use the multi-city option and select all the legs in one booking the price is three times as much than doing three individual one-way bookings? I'm just trying to make sure I understand what you are doing. 

I think a workaround would also to simply do three separate one-way bookings. Go through the booking process for each leg. 

So, I consulted my wife who works for an airline and she said that it is fairly common for the entire booking with all the legs to be more expensive than booking separately. Booking all together does afford more protection for the traveler. I'm not sure on what all these are. 

You could also speak with your company's travel agency. They might be able to provide more details on why it works this way.
