Any recommendations for a travel agency that will try to get you ITA found flights? The flights i am finding I can not get booked through any of my normal sites (expedia, orbitz, travelocity) - and my company travel agency is pretty poor.

Thanks,

Daniel

I'm not really sure what you mean by ITA "codes," per the thread title.

Before dialing a travel agent you still have a couple of DIY options.

1) Whatever itinerary ITA returns just call up the airline directly and have them price out the exact same flights for you. Yeah, you pay a nominal booking fee, but if you've found the routing you want at the price you're willing to pay (and, this being Flyertalk, hopefully for maximum mileage ), then it's worth a few extra bucks.

2) As for booking on orbitz or united dot bomb, make sure you're using the multi-city option for booking individual legs. More than six legs and you start running into problems on united.com. Maybe if you provide more detail of the problems you're running into we can help you further.

If you must go through your company TA, use the ITA site's "show booking details" to obtain the fare breakdown, in SABRE code, at the bottom. It "might be useful for travel agents."

Actually, I'm having the same issue -- trying to book the following:

JFK-DUB on DL
DUB-LHR on Aer Lingus
CPH-DUS on Air Berlin
DUS-JFK on LTU

ITA's quoting $650-ish for this but the online agencies say $950 on different airlines. Doesn't look like any of them use LTU or Air Berlin though -- thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
