Smile Booking 6+ segment Journeys on-line
Team,
The most segments one can book online using Expedia / yahoo / AA etc is 6 segment journey. Can you please recommend any website that allows us to book over 6 segments online without having to call an agent and explaining why i need to route that way even if that is not the shortest ;-)

Appreciate any and all advise. If there is no such website and only option is to use a TA please PM me the info,

Thanks!

for domestic segment runs, you can do non hub-non hub entries to include 2 in 1 entry....

there might be some use of this on other itins....

most fares will allow you max. 2 connections anyway per o/w flight. If you need more and the fare allows it you can book it usually through Orbitz or on a per-segment basis or with the carriers online (picking a connection flight each) hoping it will autoprice correctly.

Post Thank you but i am forcing a longer route
While it is a legal routing, the segments have to stated explicitly .. hence the trouble. A to B via D. Most websites they give me A to B direct or via C ( Closer) than D.
appreciate any advise. (Orbitz used to have a nicer interface which allowed me to search by schedule on Multi segment and pick flights new interface is messed up.
