Red Route price example (USD, two travelling together):Promotional materials list a nine-day first-traveler fare of $1,101 and second-traveler fare of $705.50, with the combined fare for two $1,806.50 . Calculated using the discount-eligible seven-day fare of $791 plus the $310 difference for the nine-day package, the second traveler pays $791 × 50% + $310 = $705.50; the full nine-day fare of $1,101 cannot simply be halved.
