I'm sorry to hear you may be losing Sabre access.
Thanks! Actually, I'm glad I got it back, just not sure for how long. The previous agency I am affiliated with (which gave me Sabre access) no longer wanted to continue the kind of business I was involved in after the pandemic, so I changed to a new agency, which primarily uses Amadeus.

Can you ticket or only price?
I took in-person classes in 2009. How time flies. I consider myself pretty good with Sabre commands :P (and hey, cross of Lorraine is not needed for WQ pricing for an RTW!)

My agency may be able to arrange ticketing, but it will be more expensive (1%~7% more, and even then that's if I do free service) than ticketing with the airline directly, and things need to be set up in a very convoluted way. FTers interested may PM me. Though I would rather not have to handle a case, I can and if someone really has no other way to get it done, we can try it.
