My previous agents have no problem holding my booking for the stated timeframe from the communication. They just wouldn't hold the price.
Start by telling them you want to “hold” a set of tickets and your itinerary. Then you have to tell them which point of sale to set and the fare class.
They will quote you the current fare and email you the reservation. At MMB, you just proceed as normal. Well basically that’s how the travel agents used to deal with ticketing. The old policy of ticketing at online check-in was much more generous.
If you don’t need the tickets, you can just let it expire. When you want to issue, just call CS again. The up-to-date fare is guaranteed for 24 hours. If you held I-fare but they want you to ticket D, they are just incompetent.
