Well, I'm talking about people who got actual ticket numbers, and not just the confirmed messages.
Again, I have a total of 4 tickets booked, and multiply that by 100 FTers, plus 100-200 lurkers, and I'm sure than some have way more than 4 booked. (I only booked for a family vacation, and then 1 for myself).
Once it hit Farealert, I'm sure they were just flooded with stuff.

I'm willing to bet that while there may have been 1000+ bookings, the number of actual TICKETS issued proved to be far lower, and a number that presumably AZ could ultimately live with (albeit with some uber-shrewd revenue management for the next few months).
nop.. I was one of the few that booked this right when the FareAlert was going off...
my reservation showed "confirmed" and seats assigned , w/o tix #s for about 30 hours I would say. It's certainly after the 24-hour mark...uh..

I went to bed here in Japan at page 100 when I last checked, and this fridaymorning it was at page 144, the thread being temporarily locked... What I can read back in a decent amount of time, is that Alitalia is going to honour all TICKETED reservations, right?
And: Did anyone record the CNN-story, or have a link to it? As I missed it obviously.

I spoke to CT a couple minutes ago, and even though I received emails stating my reservations are canceled, I was told that my reservations WOULD be honored, but CT needs to get AZ on the phone, and AZ was closed. I was given the "Agency Desk" phone number for AZ, and told that if I wanted, I could call myself first thing tommorrow morning...Just for reference, I did have ticket numbers on both my reservations...
anyone know the phone number for orbitz that was metioned earlier that goes direct to reservations.
I'm just not in the mood of going through 150 pages to look for it.

Dear Mach81....
you're italian like me. What have we to say about our OuTsTaNdInG national carrier????
They would be the best carrier in the world, if AZ was the only carrier existing
Guys, don't stop fighting against this matter. I'm italian but i hate the unprofessional behaviour AZ provided in many circumstances.
If you get you're TIX nr, they have to respect the fare.
my 0.02$
p.s. 4 mach81: pensa se poi Az onora tutti sti biglietti ma fallisce prima che possano essere volati....
Has anyone had any luck with Cheap Tickets? I have conf. number and ticket #'s, but not tracking #.
I posted somewhere earlier the CheapTickets site does not display tracking numbers - you have to call them but they will provide it to you if you ask nicely. An email got the tracking number confirmed for me

Thanks
1-888-656-4546, say "flights" and then say "customer service". They are picking up pretty fast.

If you apply the same cancellations, no shows, missed connections algorithim to this, they could end up with fewer tickets. But they did get away with reservations that were not ticketed yet. That reduced the deluge of reservations that came after farealert.
