While I would tend to agree if the 'victims' had booked through www.SuperDeluxeTravelDeals.ru, these trips were booked through Expedia. I think there is an assumption that some online vendors - Such as Amazon - Are 'trustworthy.' Expedia would be in that category, in my mind.

Still no excuse for Expedia leaving them hanging. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/mileage-run-discussion/1254958-fare-gone-ke-jfk-ror-560-ai.html -- 13F tcook052 Dec 12, 11, 5:31 pm Stick with the airlines' websites @:-) .
