Multi-stop Tickets Different Classes - Online Booking?
 

Hi

Does anyone know of an online booking engine that allows you to book a multi-stop itinerary with segments of different classes?

I am looking to book DEN-HDN (UA) Economy and HDN-ORD (AA) First, wondering if there is a cheaper/better way of booking than two single tickets...

So far all of the online booking engines I have found only allow "all economy" or "all first" bookings (one allows mixed itineraries, but only if the economy flight doesn't have a First cabin...)

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there used to be an online booking engine called easySabre ...

Nothing that I have ever seen since comes anywhere near close to the power, flexibility and sophistication of that site. :(

Before AMEX redesigned (ruined) ITN.net, it allowed you to select a class for each flight segment. A very nice feature that is sadly gone.

ITN.net is dead to me now.

Thanks both of you :)

Why does it sound as though things are going backwards sometimes??? I thought that I remembered being able to specify class for each segment... must have been ITN (old version).

Can land based travel agents book mixed class tickets or will they have the same problem?

Am I likely to get a better deal if I can get a mixed class multi-stop ticket booked than two singles? Or am I just making life more complicated for myself... :rolleyes:

I too am thinking of a trip where doing this would be perfect, but I cannot find a booking engine that allows me to. Hence my fond memories of the ITN.net. I am trying to book a trinagular trip routing AKL-MEL-SYD-AKL (or maybe CHC). I want to fly Emirates in F from AKL-MEL (to sample the A340-500), Qantas in coach MEL-SYD and Qantas in J to either AKL or CHC. I do not seem to be able to do this all on one booking.

Yes indeed those were the good old days. Even now, neither the U.S. nor Canadian version of the CX site uses the ITN format any longer. In the past I could select coach for the domestic portion and then business for the CX segment by using the "Open Jaw multi-city option".

Now AMEX uses the travelocity format while www.cathay-usa.com / www.cathay.ca uses the normal format found on www.cathaypacific.com. :td:

BUMP!

I was just searching for *just such a website* and was led here...

Have there been any new multi-stop milti-class online agents since 2005?

The VS online booking apparently allows you to pick your own class for each sector. That is you could book a roundtrip ticket and say pick Y+ on the outbound flight and then upper class on the return.

Any other websites?

Edit: will answer my own question: the Chase Ultimate Rewards Book a Trip tool allows this.

Can you get into this if you don't have a UR card?

I don't think so.
