Thumbs up to OP! ^^^
On Saturday, I Booked first to South Pacific via US based OTA, ticketed right away.
Then booked to South Africa, with same OTA, but it did not ticket automatically. My guess b/c it was combination of OW and ST, and AA marketed BA operated segment caused the issue. Received email later on to call them back to resolve the issue, I did not. Called late yesterday after the game was over just to cancel that one, as it never ticketed and I could not do it online.
Later on, decided to book slightly more expensive but ST only trip to South Africa, via different OTA. Again received email that it had been ticketed, but there also "There has been a change to your flight. We will email or call you to confirm any changes." One leg was missing in the itinerary, so I waited, and 3 hours later, confirmed itinerary arrives in email as originally booked

Meet up
Hi all,
I am brand new into this forum, and this thread has lured me in!
I booked on Saturday:
March 13th - FLR-CDG-JFK-LAS
March 31st - HNL-SEA-LON-DUS
Since some bookings were accepted, I was hoping to meet people who fly on March 13th in FLR during or before the flight.
Anyone is flying on March 13th?

Booked two itineraries for early January.
Until yesterday my card had just received a pre-autorization request.
Today finally the charges have been posted and, amazingly, they're not from Expedia (who I booked with) but directly from Alitalia.
I'd like to think this is a good sign, but not sure

Refunds are also processed via airlines but they refuse to deal with you when you booked via an OTA saying that you must contact the OTA in order to have them ask for refund.

But then again, if my travel insurance will cover any excess cost of an identical 055 ticket, I really should make all my other bookings for cruises and positioning flights right away to establish my travel position, shouldn't I?

"Amazingly"? How is that different from any other bookings you've previously made on Expedia?

Unfortunately viewtrip says "Itinerary not found".
Now I have 055 ticket, no access to Travelup and just AF showing the FLR/CDG/MIA portion.
"GDS" PNR and "Airline" PNR lead to nowhere.
Oh well...it's part of the thrill.

If my 055 ticket gets cancelled after my cruise, etc bookings have been made, I'll make sure my annual travel insurance policy will cover the difference between the cost of booking new flights over the same itinerary and what I paid under this by this then cancelled, EF (US$850).

Posts here are really starting to get ridiculous...
I'd like to get a link to sign up for this kind of travel insurance. ^

I paid for two tickets in one transaction from Expedia.co.uk - it sat pending as an Alitalia charge of Ł1k-ish for a few days and has now posted as two separate transactions from Expedia.co.uk...
