I am not contacting them because as far as I know (or as far a regular consumer knows), there are no issues with this purchase and all I have to do is show up at the airport to take my flight...
I still have no ticket numbers, my credit card has not been charged, and my reservation has been cancelled according to LX's website.

I am not going to take a half day off from work to go dowtown and purchase visas to India, then burn 90K miles for two domestic C/F tickets from LAX-YZZ and back unless I know that I am going to be able to take the trip.

I am more than happy to do away with my DEL tickets if I can keep at least one ZRH ticket in J.

I booked directly through SWISS.com and did not even know that Travelocity was an option until this thread was opened.

That is your prerogative to pursue, but it should not be a question of "if I can keep". Tickets were issued and LX should transport you all the way to DEL.

I totally agree, I just want to go in J somewhere for 364CAD, DEL would be cool, but I am happy to part with it.

Well, there might be some space for negotiation...

LX offers to honor the fare in coach. Still not bad for a ticket to india !

Anyways, they seem that they want to work with it. One could ask:

-To start the journey in his respective hometown (LAX?)
-Not flying at all and let them book you the miles
-Upgrade on one way

Just a thought... you will have to see how it turns out.

Seems like Zuji was once again the best way to touch this deal ^

Just curious, what makes you say that? Those of us that booked on swiss.com for LX metal across the pond haven't been contacted yet (AFAIK).

And were you booked AC or LX for the TATL segments?

On one ticket, I was booked on AC N/S and two of them I was AC-YUL and LX-YYZ-ZRH with one the exact same in reverse, and one N/S on AC in the return.

And you got contacted specifically about each itin, or just one of them? Did you agree to have them cancelled, or what's the story?

If they were sure they can cancel the tix without any problem, they would do that.
So, go on and don't accept anything you're not comfortable with. :P

Ding ding!!! I, too, can't believe some people are so willing to give up.

I was first contacted yesterday around 1700 hours and the lady simply said that there was a web error and she received word from home office to either reprice or cancel and refund the reservation. I said that I had a family emergency and could not even think about it right then (a complete BS story, but it got me off the phone).

Today, I received two phone calls from SWISS and neither message referenced a specific PNR, but simply said to call about my reservation, "there was a web error and they need to rebook my reservation".

Has anyone who has booked via Travelocity been contacted by LX?

I agree, when you book these fares you have to expect these tactics.
