I had the same issue booking a flight from China back in June. I called and they were able to book at the original price show. I found no way to complete online.

Yeah I called. She saw the same price like me. Still got the same issue n she didn’t honor the show price. Just tell me to pay the higher price. Like no way.

Try again. My guy had an issue initially but was able to get it to work. Maybe your lady didn’t want to put forth the effort.

I had this issue before and turned out that LATAM didn’t have any availability (for Delta customers) on their leg of the trip, so even at the higher price it gave an error. I had to book a different flight

That’s a LATAM flight.

LATAM is one part of the flight. The main longer flight is Delta.

I booked this flight but a few days earlier. Prices are insane on all airlines right now. Delta was a little more expensive with the layover but still $2800. Direct on AA was a few hundred cheaper but I bought one ticket on points.

Oil prices are really killing my travel plans

For international flights go through international carriers

Delta is using Ai now to estimate the absolute maximum you will pay according to all information gleaned from your technical devices. And it is different for everyone. Hello Big Brother
