I'm no lawyer but this seems like a clear violation of US DOT provisions given that the correct cost was exchanged and the seats were confirmed / tickets issued. Obviously I know US doesn't apply here. Anyone have a sense of how Canadian regulators would treat this?

If I hadn’t booked something myself, I’d be getting out the popcorn.

Would US DOT regulations apply if the ticket was originating in the US though?

I had booked two tickets but oddly amused by this and eager to see how it plays out!

wow... this is gonna suck for people who transferred AMEX MR, and now will be stuck with thousands of AE points!
Hope AC does the right thing, and honours all the tickets.

Same here, but Aeroplan and Saudia both insist they're ticketed. I'll wait and see...

Found this recent thread on UA FT, people are reporting issues with LX IT on UAMP award bookings:

Beware UA award bookings on Swiss Air!

I will AE later and report.

I called Aeroplan, and said there is nothing they can do to re-instate the ticket. They said the seats were never available to begin with. However, they offered to return the points to Amex and I took them up on that!

Can't access it using the record locator, but the ticket number still works and the reservation seems to be fine.

For those that booked, you'll notice your seats are been freed up if you check EF. Lost all of my seats so I'm guessing this is really cancelled.
