ITA Fares: Unable to book anywhere
I found some good fares (Air India US-India) on ITAsoftware that I would like to book ^ . All travel agents and even airline I called claim they can't do it 
. I beleive ITA displays only available fares. If that is the case, how can I book these fares? Any travel agent that you use has been able to book these fares in the past 
TIA

ITA is not always up to date on available inventory-- the fares might exist but all the seats might have already been sold.
The only time I tried to book an ITA-generated itin, I called the airline directly and gave them the routing and fare codes. The agent told me the fare was sold out on one of the legs (I had generated this itin less than 20 minutes earlier), so I paid a little extra, but the others went through just fine.

I usually use expedia, but you must use the MULTIPLE CITIES option and segment the legs... ie.. AA as one leg, AC as one leg, and then CHOOSE INDIVIDUAL FLIGHTS when a nonsense expensive itinerary comes up
Always has worked for me. Usually comes up with a slightly lower price than ITA too.
