Was trying to confirm EWR-AMS/FCO-EWR tonight.

Was quoted an H fare. I asked about K, "sorry the K fares can't be combined with those cities". (of course, the Q fares can.)

Then I'm advised that EWR-AMS is totally sold out in BizFirst. (No J seats either.)

"Can I get a Q or T fare on the outbound since I can't upgrade it?"

"No. The H can't be combined with the Q."

So in order to upgrade the return leg, I have to do the HoKeY on the outbound even though the chances of being upgraded are slim.

#$%@#$@#

Any suggestions on workarounds?
