Why might a multi-leg flight be cheaper than one of its legs?
score:3
Accepted answer
There is no reasonable explanation for it, other than the intention of driving traffic from Cardiff into the KLM network.
KLMs competition for passengers from Cardiff includes Bristol, Manchester and the London airports, and they want you to choose KLM so they price the entire journey competitively, otherwise they risk losing custom to other international airports.
Flying from AMS they are the major airline that flies the bulk of the routes and pretty much have you locked in - although the AMS-PDX segment is a codeshare with Delta.
