I have booked seats on the Asian and Australian segments using the Cathay office in Mel. So far , so good. But 2 weeks ago I emailed the routing to Cathay in BKK, and they replied that they would get their ticketing office to send a quote, which I am still waiting for, despite a couple of reminders. Traveller 2000 agency has sent 3 or 4 emails back asking to clarify the routing which I have tried to do, but they still can't seem to understand it, and Charlie connection hasn't replied at all. Am I missing something here?. All I want is a price. Should I try a different travel agent or oneworld ticket office? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I have just (literally) had a DONE4 ex-BKK ticketed and share your pain. Some place were happy to provide a quote via email. Others asked for routings and began arguing with me about validity - what that has to do with a price quote I don't know.
Then I decide to proceed with a TA and he started working with QF office in BKK to issue - they said they can't issue as I am not there - many phone calls to QFpremium desk etc... no idea why QF BKK was thinking they were issuing my ticket - all I wanted was for the TA to take over the reservation and ticket for me.
Anyway in the end I went with a TA - DONE4= 206750THB with approx 17000THB in taxes. There were cheaper quotes but either they were not responsibe (and I was coming up against a ticketing deadline by CX) or would then tack on a 3.1% cc fee. Above price does not incur a cc fee and is payable by Visa or MC.
