Thanks OP for the head's up... and to fellow FT'ers' to convince me to book this fare. I won't dwell on whether this is a "fat finger" or just a really good price; at this point, why not? $300 all in from NY is still pretty good... the LAX portion will probably cost nearly as much... which leads me to how to get that stupid Docker's promotional free airfare to work!
I wound up w/ a JFK B777 flight there and a A330 flight back to EWR... wonder if there's a difference between the two. Maybe time for me to mosey down to the AF/KLM forum and read up on a thing or two.
BTW, besides the 24 hour hold (which I didn't want to risk), is there a 24 hour cancellation policy?

Not sure, but it can't be any colder in Rome in February, than it will be here in New Hampshire in February and I won't have to actually drive anyplace in Rome.

Question
How much will it cost to change or cancel my airline ticket?

In the itinerary on the right side, you will see a link to “Change or cancel your reservation”. Click on the link, then click on the “Cancel Options” button for the calculator.
The calculator will display the amount of refund you would receive if your cancel the trip or the amount of credit you can use towards future travel if your ticket was issued on a non-refundable fare.

$268 from JFK is unbeatable deal.
Add $158 for JetBlue for BOS-JFK. Total $426 is still very, very good.
But I can't take this deal since I have no status with AF or CO. Flying without elite status is no-no.

Thanks to the OP for this one. The days didn't work great for me, but when you pull up AF's (surprisingly good) interface and see $85 seats to Rome, how could I resist? 
I'm a CO platinum (skyteam elite plus -- hooray!), but it's been several years since I've crossed the Pond on AF. There's no "funny business" with OnePass mileage accrual on discount AF tickets, right? As a CO Plat, I'll earn 100% actual mileage, and a 125% bonus?
With that accrual and these prices (even if you value CO miles at little more than a penny), the trip is essentially free.

Expedia's cancellation policy looks to be about the same. They will let you cancel but you incur whatever the airline chose as the cancellation penalty. I looked and found nothing about being able to cancel for no penalty. I suppose you could always call them at 1-800-EXPEDIA and ask.

I bought three of these all on Expedia. No ticket numbers yet, but reservations show as confirmed. (If I lose out, no big deal this time.)
