want to hear something crazy? i put on hold an award ticket (aa) tlv-yyz on lets say march 1, and jfk-tlv on may 4, both in biz with the hold expiring jan 4 at 11:59p. in the interim, i put a reservation on hold with a travel agent tlv-yyz on feb 24 biz, and the rest coach, yyz-lax, lax-jfk, and jfk-tlv on may 3.
anyways when i went to ticket the ticket on aa, the reservation was cancelled! apparantly elal flagged it as a duplicate reservation even though the dates werent the same nor the class of service.
beware
