Travel agent to book from ITA
Hi
I am trying to book a flight I found on ITA. I sent it to a travel agent I have used in the past and got the following response. We are not able to book the itinerary listed in your enquiry at a cost as low as you have mentioned. This is mainly due to the fact that we do not have direct contract to sell one-way British Airways Business Class fares. Our best fare for the flights would be £1837 using Qatar Airways for all international flights. Please click here for full details.
Can anyone recommend a travel agent who could book this as it is?
Thanks
Mark.

I tried to help you - but I can't get the fare classes to price correctly in SABRE with the BA flights. It lets me do it for QR flights with a BD flight - but I'm assuming you want the BA flights in there...
Let me know how you constructed this - do you have a link to the ITA page? Or PDF of it?

Thanks, I have just been told it was a mistake fare on ITA, all the flights have to be on QR.
I have another question if you can help though.
I have found flights I am interested in by getting two seperate tickets, BHD-BLR and BLR-CMB, can a travel agent book these and put them on the same PNR?
Thanks
