Just got a call from a friend at an Ad Agency -- apparently they were told to start developing a campaign around how their client honors their deals no matter what and making fun of firms that dont.
I guess the idea is to attack the firms that back out...an interesting marketing tactic.

On my firends Orbitz account, where it used to show the full itinerary, it now has the leg from yyz->lca removed and just shows the return leg. He doesn't have a ticket#. Is this the end of the road for him? It doesn't say "cancelled" anywhere.

what about AZ miles?It's a codeshare so it should earn full(double in D)MilleMiglia miles,am I correct?

hmmm ... interesting ...
"Alitalia:
No mileage credit for fares booked in E, F, G, P, R, S, U, or Z class"
notice the difference with the following:
"KLM Royal Dutch Airlines:
Mileage credit only applies to flights operated by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. No mileage credit will be awarded for fares booked in D, E, G, N, V, or W class."
For Alitalia it actually does not say that it has to be operated by AZ; while for KLM it specifically says "operated by KLM only".
I still think mileage accrual on DL is a no go though ...

Wow, a thousand posts in less than 24 hours. Still wondering whether my reservation will live through the night. How am I supposed to get any serious work done today with that much suspense?
