Not my first rodeo with mistake fares and the DoT.
Care to share? That could come in handy one day.

Section 399.88(a) states that it is an unfair and deceptive practice for any seller of scheduled air transportation within, to, or from the United States, or of a tour or tour component that includes scheduled air transportation within, to, or from the United States, to increase the price of that air transportation to a consumer after the air transportation has been purchased by the consumer, except in the case of a government-imposed tax or fee and only if the passenger is advised of a possible increase before purchasing a ticket. A purchase occurs when the full amount agreed upon has been paid by the consumer. Therefore, if a consumer purchases a fare and that consumer receives confirmation (such as a confirmation email and/or the purchase appears on their credit card statement or online account summary) of their purchase, then the seller of air transportation cannot increase the price of that air transportation to that consumer, even when the fare is a “mistake.”

A contract of carriage provision that reserves the right to cancel such ticketed purchases or reserves the right to raise the fare cannot legalize the practice described above. The Enforcement Office would consider any contract of carriage provision that attempts to relieve a carrier of the prohibition against post-purchase price increase to be an unfair and deceptive practice in violation of 49 U.S.C. § 41712.

I do have some weird Reservation number showing cancelled but no departure date or other information. and when I go to show information, it says they are unable to show the reservation and it will be removed.

EDIT - and now I do not have any reservations... just wait it out I guess.

Checked the usual suspects not seeing any residual OTA availability from my search. Anyone finding anything? Congrats on those who snagged these!

Maybe the MODs can add that to the title... and move it to the MR discussion forum instead of keeping it here

I've alerted the mods, or at least I think I did anyway. Too many threads going at once .

Oh man! You're killin' me. In my frenzy, I didn't check DCA. I only checked IAD. So, I'll be taking a train to JFK unless I find a decent airfare to fly to JFK.

As always, I wS just trying to book as fast as possible and figure the rest out later .
