I've never seen BULK in the fare calc box, either. I used to go to Europe on consolidator tickets, and once to Hong Kong, and in most cases the "fare" in the fare calc box was the sum of non-included taxes and departure fees, back then in the $15-$20 range. This was on (the old) PA and BA. They were written as NONREF, NONEND, and stripped of FF mileage. On SQ to Hong Kong the fare calc was an H or V fare, much more than I actually paid. -- Michael C.
