> Yeah, but you couldn't buy tickets on ITA which made its special sauce only go so far. I booked tons of tickets over the years using ITA as a basis. Its not that difficult. Get the itinerary finalised in ITA and then either: (a) Head over to the appropriate airline's website and enter in the legs; or (b) Call up the appropriate airline's reservations callcentre In 99.99% of cases, I was able to do it all online without speaking to anyone. There was only a tiny number where I had to call them up. The savings achievable via ITA far outweighed the minor inconvenience of double-keying.
