THANKS NETZIH!!

I am still looking for data points as to whether people skipping the flight to YYZ will get partner credit. I believe the earliest flights available in this deal were in November (although if I'm wrong and people were already able to take some of those flights, please correct me), so I assume we'll have to wait until mid-to-late November for the brave individuals who chance it to educate the rest of us.

1) Don't credit your miles to United. There have been many reports of United miles being clawed!

Hmmm..... Two days ago would be Saturday. It's now Monday. Maybe they don't work on Sunday?
Emailed again, two separate emails asking to refund each ticket individually. My CC was already credited for one of the tix. I checked on usairways.com and it seems that both tix are still active even after they refunded one of the tix?!

No i had 2 tix, but for some reason they only refunded one of them the first time around.

How would that have any affect on you whether people booked or not if you missed the deal ::)
In general your more likely to score with a good attitude.

Re: Flights nyc-tlv-yyz $469 on usairways BEWARE!!! BEWARE!!!
« Reply #575 on: October 17, 2013, 11:49:40 PM »
BEWARE!!!!
CHECK YOUR DATES!!  DON'T ASSUME THAT ALL CONNECTING FLIGHTS ARE PROPERLY SCHEDULED.


I bought 2 tickets flying on Dec 9th from Lga To Philly and Philly to Brussels and then Tlv, for $350.
I noticed this week that they had me flying from Philly to Brussels, leaving at 6:30PM on US Airways arriving in Brussels at 8:05AM on the Dec 10th (7+ hr flight + a 5 hr time diff).  I am supposed to catch a flight with ElAl from Brussels to TelAviv at 12:05PM (4 hr stop-over).  However somehow Otbitz messed up and they have me leaving from Brussels on the 9th and not the 10th (the day before I arrive there).  Which means that by the time I get to Brussels, my flight will have already landed in Israel the day before.

I called Orbitz, and to make a very long story short, after 4 hours on the phone, speaking to 2 reps, a supervisor and the supervisor's manager they changed my ticket so that I'd leave from Philly the day before on the 8th and catch the filght on the 9th from Brussels.  (This was after they tried putting me on many different filghts and then telling me that my only option was a full refund, which of course I didn't accept and threatened to go viral, contact news agencies and the BBB and others.)

The same exact thing happened to my friend who booked the same itinerary as myself, so it was not just one random mistake.  I imagine this has happened to many others and they are not aware.

CHECK YOUR DATES!!  DON'T ASSUME THAT ALL CONNECTING FLIGHTS ARE PROPERLY SCHEDULED.

Dan if you see this post and you have a way of notifying others, in a way other than just the forums, please do so.  I was happy that I was able to work this out in the end.  I can't imagine what would've happened had I not found out until I got to the airport.

P.S.
  Orbiz had charged my CC and extra $35 processing fee, which after I resolved my itinerary, I had them refund.  So check your cards too and make sure you were not overcharged.

Just to rub it in I guess, I booked at least five sets of tix and only wanted one set. I canceled three and forgot to cancel the fourth set. Those tix overlap the tix I did want to use so I would have had to just for get the money. (Would not make any sense to pay $300 for the right to rebook and then pay the diff in tix prices.) Worse case my tix would have been $750 ea. roundtrip, instead because I was able to cancel and get a refund I payed only $364 per ticket RT. Thanks Netzih!!! :D :D
