The fares are still available and can be booked on Orbitz. Usually when the fare is not available it gives you the latest fare or does not allow you to finish the booking.

Got it... by telephoning Alitalia

Heard about this from AAFrequentFlyer on Fodors.com about an hour ago. Didn't need to even think about it... this is not a "mileage run" for me - - it's our trip to Europe for the year. Reservationist put me on hold for quite a while to "check this out with supervisor". Since I talked live with an Alitalia reservationist, I have no ethical qualms, even if it IS a genuine mistake (doesn't it have to be?) - - haven't read all 32 pages of posts here this morning - - just wanted to let others know that the fare is still being sold.

So awesome... thanks, flyertalk - - got my last trip to Europe thanks to communications here also (the "Rockford deal, on NW, to Paris", May 2005).

Best wishes,

I know that in YYZ if flying to the US one undergoes US preclearance, but if flying thru YYZ in direct transit outbound to another Int'l destination, does one have to go thru Canada immigration/customs, or do they have airside transfer.

So if we want to change our dates and or routing, and each way is operated by two carriers (Air Canada and Alitalia), who should be the airline/agency to call? Should I call cheaptickets directly? Is it too early to call or should I wait? Dont wanna jeopardize anyones chances...

I must be incompetent, I have tried every date people have posted without luck.
I am searching Orbitz multi-leg business class. When people list dates I am trying date YYZ to MXP date +1 MXP to Lca and return LCA - MXP date and MXP to YYZ date +1

What am I doing wrong?

My Orbitz and CheapTicket itineraries have ticket numbers. With Travelocity, nothing has been posted about ticket numbers nor shipping tracking numbers. On the contrary, Travelocity says something about checking the ticket with the airline before issuing it. Is that standard Travelocity language? (It seems to be.)

I would book one kid as an adult and the rest as children in case there is a child discount for passengers under 12.

For my AA to BA flights that have me transiting via YYZ (for US-UK via Canada) I had to go landside at YYZ and reclear security.
