Well after receiving an email from Delta yesterday, my reservation finally disappeared from their system an hour or two ago. Party's over :p

All of mine are gone.

And there they go. All DL tix are gone. C'est la vie.

A fun roller coaster as always, on to the next one...

But I just received an email asking me to rate the website airfrance.fr (1 to 5 stars) following the booking process (and the reservation number clearly appears in the email).

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Rate wisely.

Your ticket may depend upon it!

Witness the fact that many of us still have valid itineraries in our accounts.

For smaller merchants, there would be a cost here also. Amex doesn't refund fees to smaller merchants. So if you buy a $100 item at a smaller store with Amex, the merchant receives $96.50. If you return it, Amex pulls back $100 from the merchant. Net loss of $3.50.

I'm guessing Delta doesn't have that same deal with Amex, but it's possible they do lose something here that could have been avoided.

The way Delta sees it, they just recouped a loss of $80 million.

I don't think the $3.50 charge is going to switch the lights out in Atlanta! 😅

oh, it's been discussed a lot at Ivry-sur-Seine, believe me. 😅

The credit card fees alone make this a 6 figure mistake if 4000 were sold

Same here. It came at 8:44 am PST. The sender is "KLM Customer Service Desk" and the subject line is: "Update on your recent Air France ticket purchase."

I had a missed call from Amsterdam at 2:30 pm PST while I was in front of a judge representing a client in court. A voicemail was left by an extremely fast talking, heavily accented and very cheerful representative. I can only understand about one in two or three words; however, the gist of her message was that the ticket was canceled due to incorrect airfare in their system and that I can expect to receive a refund within 48 hours. She apologized for the inconvenience that it caused me and thanked me for choosing Air France.

Just wondering, has there ever been an error fare where every single ticket was cancelled?

From past threads, it seems that there are always a few that manage to escape the axe.

I guess there are just too many permutations for the airlines to deal with.

To those that are still alive, good luck, be patient, stay quiet and hide in the shadows ;)

Definitely, those that fly soonest stand the best chance, as shown here again.

What happened to “don’t call the airlines.” People, they’re reading this. If you have dodged the axe so far, don’t publically disclose unique characteristics that could make it easier for them to bring the axe your way. I know we will probably all get the axe in the end, but why stick your neck out and help them?
