FOR PRICELINE RESERVATIONS WITH BOOKING FAILURE
Call Priceline 1800-259-2091 dial 3 and then 1 and ask for the contract receipt.
Then fax the contract to Delta with your name, email and phone number to 1801-575-3000
UPDATE: It is no longer necessary to fax in anything to Delta. Just call Delta direct, with the priceline conf number, ask for a supervisor, and they are honoring all tickets! ;D

My sister is on a flight right now from JFK-LAX in business. Business class has 24 seats... 20 of the passengers are frum!

Dan would be proud  ;D

Goes to show that our oilem is a lot more savvy than the general public in getting glitches.
I wonder what the staff were thinking...

For some reason other than here and a single thread on FT this Delta glitch wasn't really picked up by any other sites.

Was pretty bizarre.  Maybe there was a blogger conference that day or the night before?
Though several other bloggers bought tix and didn't post.  I took the opposite approach.

I could've either figured out travel plans or worked with BAHayman to keep the DD servers running. 
Personally I have the miles to do this kind of trip anytime, but that's probably not the case for most of untold thousands of others.

So far it seems the new DD servers can handle massive amounts of traffic, though we'll have to wait for the next really big glitch to find out for sure.

Dan did you hear back from Delta as significant amount of tickets came from you?

I saw a blogger write that a fair amount where for NYC-LAX, dose that anything to do with the fact that allot of frum ppl got in thanks to dan?


Dan what makes other bloggers take a different approach (its not a BRG)?

Of course.
Business JFK-LAX has been packed with frummies for the past week.

Orbitz and Priceline would know if you used his referral code.

Thats true, but there are also a lot of people who booked if directly through Delta.
