So I should be good to go, unless I'm misreading that.

Thanks for confirming that an agency booking isn't a problem.

Yes you are misreading that.

You cannot ticket in USA as it is considered a 'sale' and you're originating in the EU. If you're based in Canada, then that's fine.

Basically if you even have to ASK the question whether you can book through Sabre means that you are not qualified to even attempt this sort of transaction. Using a host agency does not qualify you as a travel agent. Especially amateur ones pretending to be professionals.
