I know but couldn't find dates elsewhere. Still hasn't ticketed so likely won't imho will update if that changes. I would never use Vayama because of this with a real ticket.

I had tickets successfully issued by Vayama after 1-2 hours. That alone is not a sign there will be a problem. The report that a similar fare was recently NOT ticketed by Vayama is much more concerning

Sucks, cause I had CheapO pulled up, ready to ticket. But started to get cute with the dates..... you'd think I'd know better!

Funny how I can book a mega-ton of GF tickets at $1750 last Saturday morning, but can't pull the trigger on sub $200 this week. (Of course, those are easily refundable.) Oh well..

Since the deal is now dead, I'd just like to point out that even the "new" price around USD755 is a pretty good fare to Japan a/i.

That gets into a whole convo about the ethics of posting/not posting to the MR forum. Since this place has become a bit of a "wild west" over the years, with people posting commercial links to booking engines, airline lurkers monitoring for fare mistakes, etc. I don't really blame anyone for not posting. Personally, I would have posted, though perhaps in the "trick it" thread to bury it a bit.

Got as far as the checkout screen on cheapoair.com and it returned saying fare unavailable. Drat!

Quick Question regarding MP Credit for these flights. I booked on Cheap O and confired on ANA Ticket Stock. 3 Carriers Involved AC (Air Canada) NX (Air Macau, albeit 1 flight operated by ANA) and NH(ANA) How do we enter our MP for Earnings. All Flights seem to credit 100% to UA so want to know whats the best way. AC you cant place it online as it was booked elsewhere and ANA on pulls up the one flight> any one else have an idea. Thanks and Safe Travels
