I have a feeling I already know the answer to this is no...but anyway. Is there anyway to play around with fare classes for routings and get quotes online? In my planning for making SE the fare class and routings of a few of my flights are going to be critical (need to get H fares and upgrade on those domestic routes or at least get 75% Q miles). Is there any way to configure PTO to tell you what class it is quoting? I hate having to sit on a phone and run through lots of options, often with an agent who cannot (quite reasonably) understand why you wouldn't want the cheapest fare on some segments etc.
Any ideas? Hoping I am missing something obvious....

Nope. Not specific fare class. AC or a TA is the only way to get this done.

Expedia.ca allows you to select and price fare class.

Really? I knew it would tell you the fare class after it has offered you a flight, but how do you get it to price one specifically?

Thanks

expedia will attempt to select lowest eligible fare so, technically, it doesn't ticket fares flexibly. You can look at prices for different fare basis, but you can't force it to select an intermediate higher fare.

The easiest thing to do is find a travel agent with access to a rez system.
