Every minute that goes by makes me assume mine won't be ticketeted.

This jojo OTA called me to confirm literally everything I inputted online, confirmed the itinerary piece by piece (which is exhausting and confusing to listen to, itineraries are much more visual, at least for me) then they sent me a digital document to sign and authorize the amount to charge to my account. He said I'd have the ticket in my email in an hour max...it's already been longer than that

A matter of minutes. AMEX confirmation and Priceline email with ticket numbers were about 2-3 mins apart.

Got 2 on DFW>LAX>MEL>BNE>LAX>DFW 5/5-5/12 for $185.96 per person.

Booked through Priceline, booking still shows pending. Doubt it'll stick, but would be a nice few days though. Not looking forward to 16 hrs in Y though. Anyone have any review on the Virgin Aus Y experience?

i liked VA's service better than delta (flew VA LAX->SYD Y, returned on delta about 1.5 years ago)

though VA's breakfast/snack egg burrito was extremely horrible

Just got a call and email from Expedia that they couldn’t process my ticket request (it was never actually ticketed) due to an “airline system issue”. FWIW, I booked just before 7:30 EDT and got an immediate charge to my credit card

Priceline just called me to cancel the ticket, claiming an "airline system issue".

Yup. I can no longer access the Priceline confirmation page.

Delta now showing on one segment of my trip from BNE to MEL.
