And here we go, Z class to TLV is more less not to be found :(

While I understand DL, they don't make money when only selling Z classes but its still sad...
FTR, the airline knows everything, nice when you get a memo showing you exactly which city you used to overbook

Does LY give waivers on Z classes for travel without a weekend?

LY Depends on your Rep. UA doesn't give waivers period

My question is, the guy I am using usually gets me waivers on Z class but will they do it for high season, say Lag B'omer? Im talking specifically about the flights on the 8th if that matters. There are quite a few Z classes left.

This is the seating Q
QE/TLVLY059S/35

This is a Amadeus, he needs Sabre

Shouldn't it be QP/QLY59/35, then?

Important information from American Airlines

Getting ready for upcoming steps in our integration

As part of our merger process, we will consolidate our reservations systems to the Sabre platform later this year. As we prepare for this next integration step, we've identified a way to help ensure your clients have a smooth travel journey.

For new reservations made for travel beginning October 1, 2015 on US Airways flights (US or US*), please validate on American Airlines 001 ticket stock rather than US Airways 037 ticket stock.

This will help make sure reservations are successfully migrated from the US Airways Shares reservation system when we complete the integration of our systems by the end of 2015. This request doesn't change the way you shop and book US Airways flights. Processing voluntary exchanges on the original validating carrier will also work the same as it does today.

Is your contract not under a single agreement?

Please continue to validate on US Airways 037 ticket stock if your contract or the corporate contract is not under a single American agreement. We are working toward consolidating all contracts.
Create professional looking itineraries.
