one for the travel agent gurus (EZE-MAD fare on AA)
Thought this would be more relevant on OW board as it is more of an international travel forum and perhaps more used to the intracacies of international ticketing and IATA rules.
So, there is a fare that exists from EZE-MAD in B class on AA base fare BLXE6M for 1491 USD. here is the intinerary I am able to get in ITA using this fare basis.
EZE-xDFW-EWR (stop in EWR)
EWR-xDFW-LGW (stop in LON)
LHR-xMAD-xMIA-EWR (stop in EWR)
EWR-xDFW-EZE
American would not let me ticket it saying that i cant go through EWR and Amex Plat Travel's system would not take it.
1) is this fare not ticketable?
2) any travel agents out there willing to ticket this fare, and if so how are you able to do it when I can't get it from the airline?
thanks.
Here are the ITA details:
