Discrepancy between ITA and Sabre?
I'm finding that ITA seems to be off by $9 on YYZ->LAX.
I've been specifically looking at 12/30, and on AA. ITA prices at $396, but, AA/Travelocity/etc price at $405. Not a big deal generally, but, since I wanted to use US Bank Flexperks for booking that has a reward chart where anything above $400 requires an extra 10K points (which has a value up to $200 if used properly), it's rather disappointing to say the least. Or more accurately said, it's making the plan to use the flexpoints a 'no go'.
Kind of curious what's causing the $9 difference? Some 'booking fee' that ITA isn't accounting for? Even confirmed with travel agent that fare is: AA NA30ERC1, but, she get's $405.13 and ITA reports $395.50
Regardless I guess I really can't do much for getting my Flexperks redemption to come in under $400, but, still awfully curious as to where this difference is coming in. In the past ITA has matched up exactly...in my experience anyway.
