Can't they cancel the tickets even if they are ticketed?

Now when i try again it does not work. Gives me error.

Got in for EWR-MXP 30 Jan - 4th Feb, 135$

Same here 10 min ago. EWR-BCN in March. It took 6 tries. Keep punching!

So by all accounts it looks like this is dead (or am I wrong?) but in an effort to keep it alive, I have found a method to get past the 'flight confirmation' page that provides the error and get the payment page to display, although by doing so I create a new error. With some experimentation, maybe we can figure out a new way through?

So if you force an error in the flight confirmation page (i.e. invalid country code) it'll then take you to the payment page (which you can't get to otherwise). Only problem is that you then have a invalid country code error which doesn't allow you to proceed. Seems like the type of thing that may be overcome with an incognito mode/2 browser trick of some sort... my connection (on vacation) is too crappy to do much experimentation to figure something out, but what I described above may help in pointing people in the right direction.

I think they are fixing everything now. One second I had a flight from SFO to Cairo for about $500, when I clicked to continue it magically doubled in price and no former prices were available.

Exactly!! That's what we're doing at Christmas and, if these ticket, again in February :)

Booked EWR MXP at 3:40 EST
Just ticketed for me at 9:30 EST
Same for a different EWR-MXP later in the summer
Used a Chase Sapphire for the first and amex plat for the second.
No pending charges on my amex though.

still waiting on two other EWR-MXP's
two BOS-DXB's
and one more IAD-BRU

TLL-LAX usually over 700€ now 533€

"Whatcha talking about Willis?!"

I think this is all part of Smiesek's plan. He's not going to just devalue the customers, MP program and quality of service, he's devaluing the cost of tickets as well, so it all balances out :D .

With what you saved on the cost of a ticket, you can buy yourself a nice Prada Wallet. :)

You forget that I need to first make my way to US. :D
Well, can plan later. Just see if it gets ticket first.

I have bad experience with Wideroe. I am just warning you guys. Do not get your hopes up. As a Swede IŽve been disappointed at WF many times regarding these fares.
Never had one out of at least 5 honored.

Got my confirmation email from Wideroe at 6:56pm EST, but United is only holding my ticket until Midnight EST. Doubt that is enough time to ticket, given the long queue. :confused:


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 8:52 pm.
