Me, too. I had one ticket on KE with a KE ticket number -- cancelled. And another on with DL/TG and no KE segments with a DL ticket number -- cancelled with the same e-mail referring to Korean Air. Strange.

I used Travelocity to book other tickets with other airlines, so we will see.

Same thing for me, got email from Vayama 11.30PM EDT quoting "Korean Airlines" on a 006-DL ticket RGN-SIN-LHR-JFK. Though for me DL.com still shows the SIN-LHR VA/SQ-operated segment.

Looks like fun is over. Next deal...

Exactly!

Mine was ticketed with tix numbers and I got the cancellation email. What is our next step? Seems like people who were past the 24 hr mark are in the clear....

Not at all. Mine was ticketed yesterday at around 10am PST and it was cancelled within the last hour (no e-mail yet).

Well, Vayama cancelled my RGN-BKK-FRA-JFK ticket. TG/DL issued on DL stock. Cited Korean Airlines as well.

Still have my RGN-SIN-LHR-JFK backup from another OTA. We'll see what happens...

Same here. TG/DL ticket gone. Booked on 006 stock, but the e-mail I got references "Korean Airlines".

Not true. I was passed the 24hour mark and I had one ticket cancelled that was booked through Vayama. It was on KE - RGN-BKK-ICN-LAX in F. My other one still stands as confirmed, seats selected on Airfrance through Delta.bomb with a routing of RGN-KUL-AUH-CDG-JFK.

Correct.

Vayama cancelled my KE ticket. Travelocity did not yet cancel my KE ticket. On the other hand, Vayama did NOT cancel my LX ticket.

My money is on this scenario: KE has instructed all TA to cancel effected tickets and Vayama are just quicker to respond. In other words: My Travelocity-booked KE ticket is probably going to die shortly, too but I still have hopes for my Vayama-issued LX ticket.

The TA has no interest in expending resources to cancel tickets already issued. The push comes from the airline. I do not believe my Travelocity-booked KE ticket will survive.

Is it even possible to stay airside in RGN? Would be very interested in some feedback from anyone who's been there.

Also, wouldn't you have problems with not being allowed onto the Jetstar flight without a visa?

Planning to go SIN-RGN on Jetstar. arriving at 11am, and staying at airport until my 4.40pm flight back to SIN on MI. Will not apply for a visa as I will be airside, hell I will even check in for my RGN-SIN flight in SIN if I can

I think I might have used it first, back in 2005/2006. Since these obviously aren't mistakes, Jumbo is much more descriptive.

I'm so tempted to pull the trigger on a crazy r/t to the South Pacific but I don't know what I'm going to say when I check-in at ICN on the return regarding my lack of a Burma visa... I'd prefer to get off at BKK but I'm not sure if "meeting my agent landside at BKK to pick up my visa" would fly too well.
