Alitalia is now not honouring any ticket request. They are cancelled tickets and Orbitz is calling them "scheduled changes." If you don't have a ticket number issued, it can get dicey.

I booked mine 11:23 am PDT (2:23 pm EDT)...
Just squeezed in under the bell... Woke up from a 7 hr nap in Amsterdam and what do I see on FT? Cyprus!
I received my Orbitz confirmation 11:48 am PDT. I have an Orbitz record locator and an Alitalia record locator, but don't have a ticket number yet (hoping...)
I tried 7/6-7/30 at Orbitz, got the price, then when I clicked to buy, it said the fare was unavailable...so I changed the return date & bingo!

I think this one works, because its paper tickets which I think are tougher to cancel.

I just tried logging into my Orbitz account and it says that I can't that someone at Orbitz is currently accessing my account.. won't be surprised if they cancel, they're the worst of all the travel companies.. but we'll see

Edit: Scratch that. Just clicked on fare rules and they don't display. It worked earlier.
