Without hesitation indicated he would honor the fare, and acknowledged travelocity made an error and no problem for Fiji.
I opted however NOT to go for various reasons, and he offered me a $250 future travel voucher + refund of ticket and fees for the problems associated with this.
Anyone else here impressed with Travelocity? Way to go Travelocity!!

Personally, I think Travelocity.com should be the "official booking portal of the Mileage Run forum" (unofficially.)
I know, speaking for myself, they have really, really proven themselves. They've earned our future business, IMHO.
Great trip, everybody.

FIJI ME BABY!
Got my phone call as well. It was kind of funny because I was just on the phone with the Executive Offices not 2 minutes before.
The following is a direct quote, 'WE STAND BY OUR PRICING. WE STAND BY OUR CUSTOMERS.'
Cash settlements are also being offered to those who prefer. Travelocity offered to refund the taxes plus pay $250 USD good for future travel services. I wasn't interested, so didn't pursue the issue further.
I was advised that NO REFUND OF ANY KIND COULD BE MADE - AND NO CHANGES TO THE RETURN FLIGHTS CAN BE MADE EITHER. A change once in FIJI requires full purchase of a new ticket.
Travelocity also mentioned that they will deal with FJ directly. No need for re-ticketing, etc.
Oh and BTW, thank you channa for a fun little ride and an interesting week!
FWIW Travelocity remains fairly mum regarding the exact number of tickets that were sold. So if you havn't already, please drop me a short e with your FT handle, the number of tickets purchase, and your travel date mentioned in the subject line. For example:
tvl4free 6 tickets 4/23
send to [email protected]
********Ticket sales reported so far 197*************

No call yet
Maybe they're trying to figure out some sort of "special treatment" for me.

Just got the call
I just got the call from Travelocity. Same $250 voucher per person and I went ahead and took them up on the offer. Everyone have a wonderful vacation and BULA!
I did remark that I was very impressed with the offer from Travelocity and would be thinking of them in the future when booking. The $250 voucher is good for "total deals" airfare + hotel or vacation deals. They are still working out the details of sending the vouchers.

All those going will have to toast Travelocity with whatever island drink is common to Fiji. ^
