Trip Manager is really nice....but....
When you "book" a ticket in Trip Manager, all it does is put your request in a que that goes to the Global Travel folks (same ones you talk to on the phone) and they have to "book" the ticket using the same process that they use when they speak to you on the phone.
So, you're not really bypassing anything (except talking directly with a GT person on the phone) by using Trip Manager.
They
could still deny your Trip Manager booking request when they find it in the que just like they might over the phone.
FWIW...
