Online Travel Booking and Bidding Agencies - Cliqbook - Anyway to deviate for a MR

Our corporate travel uses Cliqbook for its booking engine, and our corporate policy is to go with the least expensive fare on the preferred airline unless you can get $100 cheaper on any airline. Fair enough, considering one additional stipulation is that I can book a higher dollar fare if it is a direct connection.

I actually want to utilize this to my advantage, and have subscribed to Expertflyer to find the best fare classes, but need a little help negotiating Cliqbook to help turn some of these business flights into mini-MRs.

An example of what I am looking at is DFW-BNA. I can see that 14 day advanced reservations on this give me a round trip of $214 using ExpertFlyer, and $288 using cliqbook... so I can definitely use this fare, if I could only book it. Now on top of that, I would love to find a way to route this so that I could do something like DFW-LGA-BNA-LGA-DFW, or even crazier, DFW-AUS-HOU-LGA-BNA-LGA-HOU-AUS-DFW.

Would I have to start with a Multi-segment trip on Cliqbook to try and get this crazy pairing in?

Any advice or discussion would be greatly helpful.

DFW-AUS-HOU-LGA-BNA-LGA-HOU-AUS-DFW.


Just found out this AUS-LGA with a stopover in HOU no longer exists...

While I generally loathe Cliqbook, you can get pretty creative using a multi-city booking and varying the time windows to ensure you get flights you want. For ex, if you want a 9am flight but a 10am is available and undesired, choose your time as 5am and use plus/minus 4 as your window. Usually works nicely.
