Asking for a non-social media friend:
Is it possible to purchase a ticket via Global Travel months in advance? And if so, how?
This guy wants to travel to a destination months from now (this summer) which will have a block time greater than 5 hours and they want to ensure they are in first class when the time comes. Is there a way to buy a ticket now and hold on to it until that later date? The person has seniority to hold trips pretty much whenever he wants, so he can pretty much guarantee that they are operating within 3 days of departure. From what I am told, when he goes to the Deviation and Deadheads screen they can select an April trip and try to book a ticket. However, with the information added it states, No flight available for this request. (I actually tried this myself and I see the same thing.) Is it too early? Or is it not even possible? Not sure if he called GT, but by asking me, I am assuming not. (If I remember right, I think GT asks what trip to attach it to, but I rarely call them, so I really can't remember.)
I thought I would put this out there to see if any of you had seen this done.
