Think the title says it all.
Do any of the OTAs offer the ability to hold an option on seats for a modest sum? Could make the difference between me getting rid of the BA brown card or not, but it's flying with a OW member (who themselves do not offer the facility).
Thanks

This doesn't answer the question, since this relates to BA and not all destination, but maybe a useful reminder to some that you can hold a flight price on BA for £5 to £10. Some high street travel agents can reserve seats on Cathay and Qatar with payment delayed until ticketing if they have a preferred agency relationship.

A good relationship with an offline travel agent will see the ability to hold BA flights for 3-14 days with no deposit at all.
I know that doesn't help with the online question, but an e-mail is online? And i'd hope that other people on here would recommend you one if need be.
