Yup they hide the 'put on hold' button in the payment options which is handy.

The ice cream sunday is only on long haul stuff unfortunately! Shame though

I slum it in AA Y on the odd occasion, but I can count the number on two hands (the F/J ones require many many hands heh). Your other option is if you know someone with AA SWU's (system wide upgrades, awarded to AA EXP's) they can upgrade you to F for up to three segments on a single PNR, per SWU. It'll at least get you into F if you can find someone who can help

Unfortunately I don't know anyone.
I used to have a friend at virgin and I have a few travel agent friends - but they all work for FCL so dont have time/wont give me any bargains (plus compared to airline staff TA bargains are super over the top expensive).

Does orbitz.com allow you to put in routings and book them from ITA???

That routing is bookable via AA without an issue.

I have a TA I use for more complex routings. They don't make any money from it though (and they're charged a fee by their consolidator as they can't issue AA tickets themselves) but it's only around $25 or so. I don't mind paying that for stupid routings (I have one that's 9 segments of YUPP coming up that was booked as 3 end-on-end as a single ticket/PNR to accommodate stop overs and it was just the one fee). That said, my TA is one of my friends so they don't charge me a booking fee (YMMV with other places).

Ok I just saw there is a 3 hour lay over but an airport change from IAD to DCA - I am sure we can probably make that.. but we would be best not to expect checked bags to make that I am guessing (I don't know if we will have any or not)

I should mention that overnighting is not an issue as from the 30th its all on company time

Total Cost: $884.20 (approx) USD plus any booking fee an agent may charge (you can try and book it via AA and it *should* work as a multi destination as it obeys all necessary routings).

Total Netted SC's: 570

Total Cost per SC: ~$1.55

This is phenomenal, will have to remember to ask for your help next time I'm in the US !
