I want to try to avoid a TA in UK due to the booking fee or 75 pounds each and surcharges of 2%. These additional fees add up for 2 people, trying to avoid!
Any other advice is welcomed!
Thanks again for everyones help

Booking Problems AA in UK
Has anyone actually booked a ONE ex UK with a non UK credit card or a bank transfer? What is the ONE airlines that will accept it? What is the trick to this?
AA is telling me now that the fare is only for UK residents? I have read others on the forum booking through MRU and seem to be working, why not from UK?
Should i make a new booking through a different airline such as BA, QF, CX? As of now i have it through AA.
Trying to avoid a TA if i can to save about 400+ USD with there 75GBP fee each and credit card fees.
Thank You

Ive done it by contacting the ATW desk and getting the reservation in place and then phoning +44 207 365 0777 , quoting the record locator and then paying for it.
If you have hassles, speak to a supervisor and if necessary get them to refer to the tariff people

Amex Travel Services for a TA?
Hi all,
Has anyone used Amex Travel Services for a TA in the UK? Are their fees less then other TA's?
Would a Amex Gold Card or Corporate Business account wave or lower their TA fees?
Thanks!
