Everyone chill for a day or so. No need to worry. Let it play out.

Could you please give more details?, How do you find AA reservation number? Surprise?, I don't like surprises...

As I said before my flights operated by AA.

For those who are surprised by the deal disappearing so quickly on a sunday morning, keep in mind that in Europe it's afternoon already and the deal got posted on MANY blogs since 1pm (now it's 3:30 here in Italy)

Did I say DON'T CALL yet? Well... DON'T CALL!

Sundays in Europe are barely a working day even for retailers. And these Sunday deal fares were US and ME carrier fares, right?

That kind of thing has indeed killed some fares, based on what I've been told by people who were working RM for two major airlines and still socialize with their former colleagues.

The one that worked for me was Bravofly.com (pretty popular in Europe).

Right but I suppose that everything is automated: US Airways updated fares, and every OTA updated their accordingly: some OTA was fast, some other was a little slower.

I tried a second booking 60 seconds after my "succesful" one and the fare was gone already. I don't think there was an human behind the keyboard adding the fuel surcharge to every flight

Crap. About three hours too late for this. Certainly gone after trying 5-6 OTAs in Spanish and Italian.

Price showed but updated before completing transaction. Crap.

Am I the only one from Europe that booked this deal? I'll keep everyone updated writing here, but I'd like to know if someone else from C2 got a ticket
