More than 6 segments?
 

On PMUA, I was able to book more than 6 segments. The system enabled the selection of connecting flights for some of the individual components that were identified in the multiciy booking form.

Is there a way to do this now? Reason being, I have identified a 7 segment itinerary on ita.software that prices considerably less than the 6 segment maximum I can use on the new website. (Basically, I am unable to throw in the extra connection that ita.software is including to arrive at it's lower price.)

Any suggestions? And no......don't tell me to go buy it on ita. :)

Can you force it in using multi-city. IE one segment is nyc-tul necessitating a stop somewhere?

If you post the specifics of the flights you want and dates you may get better responses.

Here is the itinerary I am trying to replicate. (It's actually 9 segments)

On UA using the Bolded Multicity Routing Noted above, I can force the same itinerary with a higher price of $1,710.40. The difference is more significant on other days that I am looking at.

Also, I don't know if this is an additional issue. The fare class of the individual segments on the UA itinerary page generated for the above shows R0 / RN0. A number of the segments viewed separately show R and RN> 0

LHR-SFO
SFO-MEL

MEL-LAX

LAX-LHR

Try searching like that?

Its too late to see if it will come up/price the same as what you came up with though, but this should give you a good start.


You may also want to try a 3rd party site, Orbitz/Travelocity/Priceline, they might be able to add 9 multi-city segments.

Oh, and PS, Is 1:05 enough time to clear customs at IAH for your inbound flight?

Noticed that too. Website should probably block this booking for an illegal connection.
