Flights on weekends only add about $20 to the ticket.

Thanks - I did call Expedia just before you posted this and asked. They said AF tickets are "voidable" w/i 24 hours and I asked where I could find that posted. They didn't know. So I booked the tix based on the earlier poster's link to the Travelocity T&Cs (thanks). And thanks big time to the OP! $580 a/i on TL for 2 pax.

Chinatown bus only cost $30 but no EQM.

True and for the Continental flight it's only 1000 EQM round-trip and costs $200 so not really that worthwhile.

And for the dates I'm travelling, Jeblue has seats for $49 each way to/from Bos-JFK. Now I just have to get a cheap return flight from EWR to Boston (somehow I didn't note I could return to JFK as none of those were listed).

I was border line on this fare, knowing that its DEFINITELY all in Y, as opposed to the YYZ-OTP fare which was actually upgradeable. And it is DEFINITELY nonchangeable as opposed to the YYZ-OTP fare which was changeable on the return (after 7 day minimum!). So,the fact that the intra-Euopean portion is L Class (25%) as opposed to 100% on the YYZ-OTP fare, I am going shock the MR peanut gallery...and actually take a pass.

If I would've pulled the trigger, it would have been for 3 of 'em!! You all know I NEVER book a mere ONE trip!!!!

100% for trans-Pond flights credited to DL. Guess I'll throw AF/NW/CO a bone for the intra-Europe flights.

booking number vs ticket number

I just booked two tix, thanks to johnep1, and just checked the itinerary on expedia. The tix are showing as booked, but no tix numbers as of yet. Is that a bad sign?
