This took about 4 hours to arrive... i had checked AA.com using the PNR sometime between booking and receiving said cancellation notice and found that the trip was reserved and confirmed (i even printed this out as it had the "your trip is confirmed and the reservation is guaranteed" text on it), but did not see a ticket number. Now AA.com still says "Confirmed" but has wiped out the itinerary and input a message telling me to go to the airport or city ticket office to complete payment and ticketing.

Not sure if I should call Orbitz, AA or just re-book with the now higher fare. Any advice?
BIG difference between not honoring and canceling unticketed reservations.

Had 4 bookings on hold overnight (valid for the next 13 and a bit hours) with AA; paid for one this morning and eTicket came through in 10 or so minutes. The other three remain on hold.

The fare got pulled about 24 hours ago now. The cheapest fare since is about $86x SYD/LAX r/t

Yes, AA appears to be honoring, and my situation is entirely Orbitz's fault.

My lesson: don't use Orbitz. Guess the hard way is the best way to learn.
