We should stop calling these mistake fares. It is an admission that we know these fares shouldn't have happened and airlines have the right to take them away at our expense, even when the tickets are issued and confirmed. Instead, I suggest start calling them negligence fares. It puts the blame squarely on them.

What obligation does Vayama have to prove that the airline actually contacted them specifically about our itinerary demanding a cancellation? The vagueness of is all, and the subsequent blanket substitition of NH/DL/TG for KE as the airline just seems, well, not really evidence of a demand from the airline.

DOT complaint form
I suggest those being railroaded by Vayama, Korean Air or anyone else let the DOT know of their practices. http://airconsumer.dot.gov/escomplaint/es.cfm

assuming its booked through amadeus (which I assume it is) then go to eitr.amadeusasia.com/ then put in your res code and it will show you your ticket receipt along with the fare codes listed under CL ^

Big Cheapy seemed to cancel the other ticket quoting 'due to airlines involved.'.., anybody trying to negotiate with them yet?! Can't call them now but will do in almost 16 hours later after landing in FRA.

I actually called (please read the rest before freaking out ;-) ) two days ago and anonymously asked TA agent if it is possible to chose paper over e-ticket and was told no as they do not have necessary equipment to issue paper ticktets. I do not think that's true though.
