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...)

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...

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.

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