Caution with placing reservations on HOLD!!!

In most instances, a HOLD only reserves a seat, not the quoted fare, on that flight. It does not guarantee the quoted fare at the time of the HOLD, even if, at the moment of purchase, you still meet the advance purchase deadline! If the quoted fare at the time of the HOLD is still available at the moment of purchase, then it will be honored. If not, it will be re-priced at the next available best fare for that class of service and you will be given an opportunity to accept or cancel.

This policy also applies when dealing directly with the airline phone reservation systems. If in doubt, always ask.
