OP: Thanks for posting, absolutely great find! Seems like a nice fare to NOU and that two segments are in Y+ (and decent mileage earning) are nice benefits.

I guess people should be reminded:
- Not to call Expedia / other booking engine of your choice
- Not to call the airline

I got myself a nice winter break to NOU booked using the bigE, and if that doesn't work out, I at least got an evening's worth of dreaming about it....

I do wonder if this fare error will make it more difficult to jetisson some gas in the future?

just booked with stopovers in CDG, ICN, KIX for $621 with refundable 1x (could have gotten it for 521 but wanted it to remain refundable/flex)

It looks like it might be possible to upgrade the SB segments with AF miles but the website is not clear.

Not a booking engine - through Sabre GDS (i'm a travel agent) - however, that should mean that it's possible to do online somewhere since online booking engines are based on GDS.

I suppose anyone who booked on the bigE will be getting that soon... which is why, if it doesn't work out, at least we all got a morning / evening / afternoon of free dreaming.

It still seems to be available for a bit more on Airfrance.com if you're willing to pay for a bit more carbon trading.

Do someone knows if expedia must ticket that or not?
I can see that AlaskaAirlines authorized payment on my CC and blocked money for tickets.

Maybe only bad newbie question...
Who make ticketing? Travel agent or airlines?

Do you have ticket numbers?

I had to cancel my booking with Ex.com and I was told that all airline bookings can be canceled within 24 hrs. However, I cannot find this rule on Ex's websites

Not at all. They are not suspicious because of the fare, don't worry. They did not even watch at it. Simply canceled because the tickets was not yet issued
