Fare Class P Available but not...
I want to take advantage of a P class business fare that UA has from DUB to TPA. The DUB-EWR books fine into P, but will only allow me P Class on the special fare later in the day from EWR to TPA. It is forcing me to Z Class for both flights to get on the earlier flight despite P class being available if I look to book EWR to TPA on the earlier flight I want. Any thoughts on how this can be sorted? Is it a UA glitch?
Thanks
Thanks

Dates and flights? I can book DUB-EWR-TPA on UA22 ex-DUB and connect to any EWR-TPA flight with a through fare in P: 1,875 EUR or 2,046 USD r/t.

I can also book this easily, but I note that I cannot price it on ITA with either DUB or LON as the sale city. Overriding it to any US city works, so I wonder if there is a weird point of sale issue. Also TPA-DUB-TPA is a no-go as far as I can tell.
ed. - but now it prices with DUB point of sale...

Must be a point of sale issue. Why not just book the longer connection? 60 mins at EWR is very dicey anyway.

Wait... is point-of-sale based inventory supposed to exist? I realize the difference is that I can price it on ITA for a US sale city, or with DUB point of sale only if I un-check the box which requires inventory to be present.
