Online booking of mixed class flights
Is it possible to book mixed flights using the online tool? What I want to do is fly out in Club Europe, returning in Euro traveller (because of the I fare sale, C is cheaper than Y on the outward leg). Is it possible to do this online, or does it have to be done via telesales?
Thanks
Thanks

There was a chap who posted on the board a while ago and he included a presentation about future developments on the website.
I wonder whether he could give us a heads up on whether this functionality is being developed?

When you call telesales they don't seem able to combine the cheapest biz fare (say outbound) with the cheapest coach fare (inbound).
When I've told them that the web site shows a lower fare (but doesn't allow mixed class bookings) they just say they can't access these fares when combining biz and coach.
Does anybody know why?

Seriously though, it is quite amusing to see C class cheaper than Y on some flights this summer. Has anyone else noticed that it only seems to happen on routes duplicated by Easyjet?
