As much as I've enjoyed purchasing it, I'm now looking forward to how this turns out.

So I filled a DOT complaint against KE/CheapoAir. I prepared a very sweet letter that I'm sending out to Cheapo soon. DOT regulations gives us some very strong footing on this deal. Especially since most emails from Vayama/Cheapo/etc had ticket numbers, so the ticket was issued.
I might need to pay my local Small Claims court a visit, but I think that they don't have much of a case...

This might be a bad question, but how would I check what stock the ticket is booked on? My reservation on CheapOair shows VN under "Airline", so is that it?

I am sure that some folks here remember an Air Canada extravaganza a few years ago. After some time (I think several weeks), AC offered *A flyers the mileage they would have earned from the itineraries in exchange for cancellation of the tickets.

I'll give it a few days to see if and how Vayama responds, but then likely will write to Delta to learn whether they requested cancellation of the ticket or not.

I don't have a dog in this fight....but isn't it likely that violating DOT rules will just result in a DOT fine or some other sort of administrative action rather than some requirement that KE or DL or whoever is required to reinstate your canceled ticket?
Good luck to all of you. BTW visiting Burma is totally worthwhile. But tourism is booming there in high season anyway and the infrastructure is really being strained.

California allows individuals to seek up to $10,000 in damages in small claims court. I'm working on my demand letter now.
