Help with booking a Thai Fare

[Cynicor]

Hi,

I need help booking a Thai sale fare that I can buy on a couple of wholesaler websites but not in their own.

The fare is PER-CTS in J and IIRC the basis is JEE3MAU. Expedia want to sell it with no refunds and STA will sell what I want but I would prefer to go through someone else/direct to avoid hassle.

Any ideas, or should I phone the ticketing folk at Thai when they open tomorrow?

As a follow up, in case this ever comes up in google, I managed to book the fare as a multi-city, building in a 1 day stopover in BKK. No idea why it wouldn't price on the days I wanted as a direct flight, but the delay was good- made me realise I had an extra day.

Also, Thai don't take Amex on their website as far as I can tell.

It's a bit ridiculous but Thai don't put their sale fares in the main booking engine. So if you do a search off the main page it won't necessarily display the cheapest fare available if a sale fare is around. You have to do a search through their sale fares page. I questioned their Melbourne office on this and got some lame excuse of people liking to have the fares separate. Thais yield management and sales process has to have them missing out on thousands of dollars, not forgetting their horrible IT as well.
