Looks like free "holds" are really dead.
Oof. This is a problem for the following workflow:
- Put the itinerary I want on hold.
- Call United and ask them to upfare the outbound segment, but not the return, into W.
- Ticket and apply a GPU to the outbound segment.
It's really, really hard to buy a ticket in W outbound / K return (if you want to apply an international upgrade to the outbound segment only) without already having the exact itinerary you want on hold.
This workflow will have to change a little now. We can still ticket, then call within 24 hours and beg to upfare without being charged a change fee; or call and book the entire itinerary from scratch with a reservations agent.
