I certainly didn't expect these tickets to get cancelled. I received seat assignments, ordered special meals and received ticket #'s. Why would I expect my tickets to be cancelled when I was able to complete all of these steps? You ask this question as if I am the one that did something wrong. I don't frequent these boards often so I don't know what the protocol is for believing a ticket is really a ticket.

Both trips are far out. One is in May and the other is in August. I suppose I may find award seats in First for the dates selected but that is highly unlikely as this is peak travel season to Europe.
