Routing changed
Just came back from AZ office at DUS. Got my actual and new itineraries printed for the 2 flights that were not listed on Orbitz but listed with old routing on mytripsandmore. Now the 2 flights LCA-FCO-JFK-YYZ changed to 1x LCA-FCO-MXP-YYZ and 1x LCA-MXP-YYZ.
They told me that they could not give me new tickets for the changed segments, I should contact Orbitz to get them.
I also noticed that AZ made a day change for the return flights: I have to stay one more day in LCA.
All changed flights are still in business class (except domestic FCO-MXP).

Update
Update: I logged on to Orbitz this afternoon and my tickets have been automatically reinstated ^ I didn't even call Orbitz and asked them to do so. Yesterday it showed cancelled and now it's back the way it was when I first booked the ticket. Anyone else have their ticket automatically reinstated?

My Feb 17th, 2005-issued AZ tickets have been used and continue to be used more than one year from date of issue. The AZ contract of carriage terms posted somewhere in this thread by me indicate such too.
