1: Where can I book it? it's not available on Orbitz and Priceline is not working for me. Will a TA help?
2: In a connection that long (22.5hr), will they still transfer the luggage for me?'
3: Where can I see all the possible lengths of the stopovers?
4: I need this flight for Pesach. But that's in more than 5 months, and since these tickets are non-refundable, i would like to purchase them as late as possible. What do you guys think are my chances of getting this or a similar flight in 3-4 months?

Thank you very much.

You can't PUTPAC Matrix; they don't sell tix.

First try to get it to price on an OTA (e.g. Orbitz, Travelocity), and if that doesn't work contact one of our resident TA's (e.g. WhyAich).

No, a TA

No, a TA

Woulda helped to clarify that from the beginning.

Didn't work.
I'll make some calls. Thanks guys.

BTW: If I can't see it, how is the TA going to see it? Is there some kind of "TA website" where I can look?

[AJK]

Suffice it to say, TAs have access to things you don't

You want to know all the tricks?

WhyAich is our unofficial resident TA (or one of them anyway), you can email him, or PM him.
