Travelocity originally showed confirmed on all four legs of the trip. Went back in to re-check ticketing status and now the last leg EWR-BOS now shows unconfirmed. Called and they said it should be confirmed.
It seems that the BOS-EWR-BOS AirEuropa code-share flights do not match the actual times for the CO flights. Waiting to see if this gets cleaned up. Called CO and received their confirmation code for my three confirmed legs.

Awesome!
Fiji for $51, Madrid for $115! What a great year this is turning out to be!!!
The wife and I are outbound Wed 10/5 and return Mon 10/10. As for dropping the last leg, it should be no problem, as you have to claim all luggage when going through customs at EWR. Not sure if this would affect the posting of miles, however.

I haven't done it before, but a friend did it on our way back from FCO through CLT on US.

Viveque,
First, welcome to FT. Not to be an ..., but such questions are best left to a thread separate from these actual deals.
But, to answer briefly, if you've saved enough on the airfare, then book canxable car rentals and hotels and you'll still be miles ahead, with minimum stress.

1. I will book hotel and car rentals for the corresponding dates and what if the airline decides to cancel my booking in the last minute. I will lose money on hotel and car rental reservations.
2. At what point can an airline cancel an individual booking. Can it cancel a booking after issuing a confirmation code thru E-ticket when it discovers that there was a online booking error. Or can it cancel a ticket after issuing a confirmed seat with a seat number ?? When does the airline take responsibility? I am mainly asking this question future as if some error makes an airline ticket to be $0.00 then I will happily book the ticket, but i need to make other plans also for travel .... I will appreciate any help in this regard ...
Dont have to answer this question ...
3. If the fare is as low as $0.00 (like on delta a few weeks back to Maine), the airline can cancel my booking at any time. I then have to deal with other issues. I would have already asked my Girl frnd to pack and prepare and how do i deal with her .... (Can i sue the airline for the emotional stress ?? )

2. After $$ has been collected by the airline and a ticket number has been issued, it's a done deal
3. No, see #2. If your girlfriend can't handle the go-go life, then it's time to either travel alone or seek other companionship.
Quit worrying about it and pull the trigger. You're not going to moan on your deathbed "I'm so happy I didn't go to BCN for $200 back in 2005!"

A friendly reminder to all:
Please don't call CO, Air Europa, Travelocity, or any other powers that be until the dust settles (i.e. we have paper tickets in hand).
Doing so may jeopardize the deal. We all will have plenty of time to deal with seat assignments and other issues in a couple of days. Okay?

It is probably possible to skip the final EWR-BOS segment because you'll have to get your bags to clear customs...and you can simply not board the final leg.
