Just booked another one 30 sec ago on Orbitz. 10/2 - 10/4. It assigned me 1C on both outbound and return. Of course, no ticket #'s on this one or my other one from an hour ago.

The continuous availabilty of this deal is tempting me to book a few more, even though mrs. ashaboe and myself already have two tickets each (confirmed with tix #s and all).

Somebody stop me, please!!!

This is by far the best and easiest method to use Orbitz to get the current fares (at least find them) right now. Thank you.

no mas for me

I've been playing around, taking the booking to the last step and then cancelling.

At 12:45 EDT - this message when clicking on $33 fare "We're sorry, but due to changes in airline availability, the fare for your selected trip is no longer available. We have adjusted the fares for all affected itineraries. The fare for your selected trip is now $2649 total. See below."

Thanks. My first batch had ticket numbers within an hour. But the ticket included UA flights (although I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this).

Booked 2 more about 10 minutes ago.

Right now Orbitz is coughing at me at the final purchase stage.

The availability has been gone for a little bit now and it's slowly trickling through the "Orbitz Matrix". Looks like this one has breathed its last breath.

No excuses if you didn't get in on this one...and wanted to.
