Booking a split trip

[Beergirl]

Hi all,

For those of you who book trips split between two Couples Resorts - how do you do this? Do you have to book flight and hotels separately?

I've called the 1-800-COUPLES number, and they told me air and two resorts cannot be booked through them. I can only book the 2 hotels portion through them.

I cannot find an online travel site (I've checked all the major ones), that can accept two hotels plus flights. EXP can accept a partial hotel stay, but not two. TRV won't accept two at all. I've called their 800 numbers to no avail.

Bundling air and hotel will save about $300-$400 for us, so it's worth persuing. Any ideas?

We had to go through our travel agent to book a split trip. I wasn't able to do it online as a package.

Our TA has done if for us , for years. No hassles - she handles the whole business. And she's Jamaican

Also, depending on when you're traveling, flights are only available about 300 days in advance.

So for us, we booked our April 2011 split stay (CSA/CTI) already with Couples. But we won't be buying flights until they drop the January before, and for us it's always cheaper to buy them direct from Continental.
