Yes I could through Manage Booking on the Air Italy site but only for the MXP-JFK-MXP sectors.

Glad to see theyre not thinking of using QR metal on the CAI MXP CAI sectors - that would provoke an interesting incident!

Was anybody able to log in on Air Italy's website? (The name Meridiana is no longer being used.)
I booked through Expedia and everything looks ok on their website, but I can't log in on Air Italy's site.

Did oneworld ever announce Aer Lingus was joining? Lots of speculation from FT and blogs but no official announcement as far as I can tell, quite the opposite actually: https://www.usatoday.com/story/trave...rld/865526001/

The last airline to join oneworld, UL, took just over 2 years from official announcement by oneworld until they joined.

Nothing canceled yet, but I can't access my flights and only two out of four segments show up on checkmytrip, and even these two are not correct.

Would it be ok to call Expedia now or would that do some harm?

I just tried again on the Italian version of their website using my ticket number and voil - all my flights seem to be there!
How long would you guys wait before booking the feeder flights to/from CAI?

I'd wait a few days at least so to see it hasn't Bern cancelled ALSO it would be comforting to read reports that others have travelled successfully on this fare

thanks for your input, however, I am not sure I understand exactly what you mean.
What is "Bern cancelled"?

​​​​​​
I would suggest that Bern is a typo for been. After all the e and r are next to each other on many keyboards.

typo...I meant "been".
Good luck and please report back when you've hopefully flown .It's always interesting to know when error fares have been respected.
