A travel agent is trying to book this finally. She says she cannot book 016 ticket stock in PE. I called UA 1K and she was able to price LAX-MUC in E with an LH # and 016 ticket. She of course could not hold it and create a PNR for my agent to see it, so I could not "prove" it to the agent. I told the agent to call UA.

3 (more) questions:

1. Will an agent be able to do this? If not, how can I get UA to do it and have the agent cover the cost? I do not want to foot the bill, even temporarily.

2. Just to be sure, E fares on these LH flights:

LAX-MUC LH #453
and
MUC-LAX LH #452


will get me into PE, correct?

3. Kacee, how would it look for a GPU for Y->J on Friday 2/23 outbound and Thursday 3/1 inbound? Would LAX-FRA be better those days?
