Using TA. I can get her to make a booking saying "confirmed booking date flight date flight *** Ticket deadline : dd mmm yy ***".
My parents love doing this so they can fix prices and dates and then see if their friends or relations want to go. Or change their minds in two weeks time.
I guess the TA doesn't like doing this but I make sure a certain percentage of the bookings are followed through.
