Best place to book multi city multi booking class trip in a single booking
Hi. I have a need to book a multy city trip in different booking classes any idea which is the best site? I am hoping to have it all on the same booking and not creating 2 separate bookings.
I need to go from A --> B in Business, B --> C in coach, C -->B in coach and B--> A in Business all on the same itin. Is it doable?
Thanks.

do you have a price for the combined ticket from a carrier? or did you price 2 separate tickets?
the price might change w/1 ticket instead of 2.....doesn't cost anything to get a price from a carrier....

Depends. Sometimes you can get the carrier to price it out that way. I know that last year I just put in my dates and times that I wanted on AA & AS and was able to get a mix of fare classes with the low business class fare on the segments that I wanted it on and ecomony on the others.

i am assuming that value/$ is the only consideration here....b-c is short & y on that leg cuts the price.....no stopover at b.....sort of a reverse hidden city situation...
did the price change from the sum of the 2 tickets?
if there are other reasons that might help fters, please post...
thanks...

First I must say that after reading this board and speaking to my TA i realized that my TA is obsolete. I found more answers here then my TA could answer. I know, time to change TA.
Here are the details,
First Leg: Any midweek day in April after Apr 10
SQ flight 25 JFK - FRA in business
connect in FRA
to any carrier (preferably star alliance) FRA - LWO in coach
2 week stay
and same scenario in return.
I have no problem doing 2 round trip tickets JFK-FRA and FRA-LWO but I end up with 2 separate itins. In past that involved me coming out in FRA and collecting my bags and rechecking bags again. If i can have it on same itin then bags go all the way to LWO.
I am sending my parents and there is no way they can go through this whole process.
Any ideas are appreciated.

I'm confused about the goal here ---- are you planning a MR for your parents?
Given that there are no direct flights from FRA to LWO, and that SQ's service back to JFK leaves FRA early in the morning, I suspect that your concern about needing to collect luggage in FRA is, at least in part, misplaced --- I don't see how they could connect to this flight without an overnight in FRA.
If the primary goal is to have them travel comfortably to LWO on a * Alliance carrier without enroute stopovers, I'd recommend TK (via IST) or OS (via VIE).... and save the SQ 380 experience for another trip. If the goal is really a MR, please post more details.

As far as SQ from JFK to FRA it arrives in am and there are bunch of flight to go to LWO. And i have the same one the way back.
BUT
BUT BUT
it all needs to be booked in 2 separate itins. And i am trying to OVOID that. I need them not to check out and just continue with luggage until LWO.
I understand your logic for TK via Istanbul but they need full true flat bad in business (because i can get that on SQ for $2500 anytime). Plus there is an overnight in Istanbul which they def can not do.
So,
JRK to FRA on SQ A380 business (unless someone can suggest same comfort elsewhere for same price for any other airport that goes direct to LWO)
FRA to LWO on coach
and in reverse in 10-17 days
That's what i am trying to figure out.
Better yet, if this would fit in a better section of these forums then please point me in right direction.
Thank you.
