so one couldn't add stopovers after ticketing without being charged the difference? I was kind of hoping for that...

We're on CY317 (FCO-LCA) and CY316 (LCA-FCO) in February and the CY website shows the A320 having 15 J seats, Euro-style 2/3.

Got confirmation from Orbitz at 10:07 PDT (13:07 EDT) today; took Orbitz around 10 minutes to send the email. $181 each for the 2 of us all in.

We're on DL metal JFK-FCO-JFK. Haven't ridden up front on longhaul DL 767s - which 767 is it?

What a morning.

Well, you can always try your luck. Perhaps the only thing that would happen would be an add-collect for taxes. But if you hear the term "repricing" be very careful.

Strange, I am seeing one of my itins booked w/ ECONOMY for MXP-LCA-MXP, and EWR-YYZ as well. I think some others have posted the same.

Does that still mean I can change dates? I coulda sworn I originally booked in Biz all the way. My other bookings all show Biz... but they were all AZ metal.

if the flight from MXP to LCA is fully booked in Business it will book you automatically in Y .

No big deal cause alot of FT`s will join every day the flight to LCA and back

Re-read the first post. $39 is the base fare.

One FTer can check Alitalia's reservation system. I'll PM him to ask if he wants me to mention his name here.

how are you getting the fare, the cheapest I see is $800- how are you getting business class?

Not true. If you look at the Cyprus Airways websites, their 319's and 320's have a two-class cabins. AZ timetable doesn't show any AZ-operated flights (ex-MXP or FCO to LCA, they're all CY-operated).

I booked two tickets eliaer--seperate reservations--and the confirmation e-mails and ticketing info was sent outin about 15 minutes.

BUT!!!! I just bought another two tickets for buddies, and no e-mails or ticket numbers--it's been 20 minutes!!!!

The rules to the fare specifically state that the Canada - US portion of the routing are booked in Y.
