A couple of times when making reservation I have noticed adding Business Class caused the base fare to increase. This happened on the Lincoln (Illinois) service.
For example I was doing a trip from Alton, IL (ALN) to Staples MN (SPL); 302 connecting to 7 in Chicago. Base fare before adding Business Class was $136. Adding $20 Business Class (on 302) caused the base fare to increase to $150, plus the $20 for BC comes to a total of $170. Essentially BC nets out to $34.
The best I can tell is adding BC removes some or all discounts that was reflected in the base fare. Maybe the logic is if one is willing to spend for BC, they don’t need a discount.
