Found on ITA; how to book?
I found a flight using ITA and I can't figure out how to book it.
In the fare details section it list:
Fare construction says:
When I go to Continental's website I can't figure out how to find this fare. i tried doing a one way fare from DEN->SJD but didn't see anything listing the stop in ORD. I tried a multi-city search and that also failed.
Any suggestions?
(I'm based in CHI, doing a ski trip to Denver, followed by a trip to SJD. I'd fly straight from DEN->SJD but I want to drop off my skis and change luggage. Booking separate ORD->DEN->ORD; ORD->SJD->ORD flights is more expensive then the whole thing)
Thanks in advance.
Code:
DEN to ORD - Tue, Jan 18 Continental 6497 Dep: 6:10AM Arr: 9:30AM ORD to LAX - Wed, Jan 19 Continental 6264 Dep: 6:30AM Arr: 9:02AM LAX to SJD - Wed, Jan 19 Continental 6634 Dep: 11:00AM Arr: 2:22PM
In the fare details section it list:
Code:
Fare 3: Carrier CO TA3PSN DEN to SJD (rules) Passenger type ADT, one-way fare, booking code T Covers DEN-ORD (Coach), ORD-LAX (Coach), LAX-SJD (Coach)

Try Orbitz. Always works the best for me for complicated (mileage running) itineraries.

ITA pricing is off
I was playing around and it looks that ITA pricing is way off.
i.e. (exactly the same flights and the same fare class)
ITA (EWR-FRA-DUB-LHR-EWR) dates: 11/24 - 11/29:
Fare 1: Carrier CO WLXNC95N EWR to DUB (rules)
Passenger type ADT, round trip fare, booking code W
Covers EWR-FRA (Coach), FRA-DUB (Coach)
$136.00
Fare 2: Carrier CO SLXNC16S DUB to EWR (rules)
Passenger type ADT, round trip fare, booking code T, S
Covers DUB-LHR (Coach), LHR-EWR (Coach)
$122.50
German Airport Security Tax (DE) $9.70
German Passenger Service Charge (RA) $24.80
US International Departure Tax (US) $16.10
US September 11th Security Fee (AY) $2.50
US Passenger Facility Charge (XF) $4.50
USDA APHIS Fee (XA) $5.00
US Immigration Fee (XY) $7.00
US Customs Fee (YC) $5.50
United Kingdom Passenger Service Charge (UB) $36.10
US International Arrival Tax (US) $16.10
Irish Passenger Charge (UP) $10.80
Irish Air Travel Tax (LQ) $14.00
Subtotal per passenger $411.10
CO:
1 Adults (age 18 to 64) $401.00
Additional Taxes/Fees $152.10
Total Price $553.10
As you can see the difference is 140$.
Can anyone explain where is the difference coming from?
