Need Help With Booking "B" Fare Code

Hello All:

I am in need of a ticket from Atlanta to Toronto this weekend and want to book a ticket specifically in B class so I can get the upgrade. There is not option on the AC website for this and I can not figure out how to do it on ITN.com.

If anyone can assist me with some instructions, I would greatly appreciate it.

Regards,

Dave

Unfortunately, the only way to book by a specific class is to call AC.

Couldn't he at least look at fare availability on Travelocity?

Yes, he can look at fare availability on ITN or expedia or travelocity. However, he has to call AC in order to book them which is what he wanted to do in this case.

B class fare has 7 day advance booking requirement on this route. $1529 CAD w/o taxes!

M class with 3 day advance is only $1854

You can buy an L class (I know not upgradeable) fare for as little as $427 CAD with 3 day advance booking!

Depending how much time you want to spend in YYZ, you would be better off getting a ATL-LHR ticket and using the 24 hour international ticket privileges to stop in YYZ before continuing on. You can do this for as little $807 CAD in V class! Only need to stay over a Saturday night (you can leave YYZ Sat night be in London early Sun morning and back in YYZ by noon.
