Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience/tips on booking MR via Engencia. My company requires that I book my corp travel using this site.
While that would not exactly match a definition of a true MR I'm interested in any pointers anyone can provide.

I'm still trying to read through all the threads and stuff on how to do a MR but still have not had that light bulb moment in regards to how to set up a multi leg flight for the same price as a direct or one stop flight.

Anyone with experience using Engencia please help. Would I just set up a multi destination search and plug in all the cities I'm connecting through? For example FLL to DEN on US or DL.

I'd suggest sticking with the usual tools (ITA etc) to search, then once you find an ITIN you like, see if you can piece it together on Engencia (using multi-city, if need be).

It will never be the same price to the dollar. If nothing else, there are segment fees etc. The question is how much additional $ can you spend to get the additional EQM/EQP/EQS.

For example FLL to DEN on US or DL.
ITA shows FLL-ATL-OMA-DEN-OMA-ATL-FLL on US/DL metal for $335 ai on Feb 3-4. I haven't tried to price it via Expedia or others.
