Don't worry, I'm still a PC.
Someone ran home to pick up their mac so I could help book tickets for them!

Lol, you mean you booked JFK-LAS-JFK and LAX-LAS-LAX and just want to fly the JFK-LAS and LAS-LAX segments?
Cute, but that's not happening!

If the outbound and inbound flights are on different airlines then you may have a chance but otherwise like dan said its probably not happening

Even if the two airlines are part of different alliances?

I think I could get it to work the way there is the problem I have two round trips to miami and LAX

I have LAX - NYC (not taking) cancel and pay the change fee of 150$ I think use the crdit of the differances in ticket prices toward the cacelation fee shouldnt bee to expensive.
nyc-LAX (taking that)
lax-nyc (taking that)
nyc-lax (not taking that but whocares)

mia-nyc with usair (not taking)
AA nyc - MIA (taking) I'm hopping to different alliances the flights wont be connected should I try diconecting the itenerary the flights show up together on AA website.

back mia-nyc CO (taking)
nyc-mia (again not taking but who cares.) 

I'm still kind of doubting any flights expedia could cancel will go thru.

I called AA and for $80 they could make the mia flight there work and $50 for the lax. basically they cancel the other leg credit the difference and charge you $25 fee to change an expedia booking. not a bad deal.

$150 is to cancelation fee although you get a credit of the difference between the roundtrip and the re ticketed oneway minus another $25 for change fee because of expedia.

You could have always made the plane tickets for someone else, and the activities vouchers each get their own name for who picks them up...
Yup, only realized that afterward.
Ah well.
What do you mean by, "and the activities vouchers each get their own name for who picks them up..."? Where are you picking them up from? Don't you need to put in the name when you book? Plz clarify. Thanks

Dan, (or anyone else), I understand that you were charged the full $300 right away, and will receive a credit from expedia within a couple of days. Have you been able to confirm what someone posted here, about Jetblue tickets, that they were only initially charged any amount 'over' $300, but if it was within $300 it got cancelled out, and were not even charged? My friend booked via Buf with Jetblue, and claims to only being charged $23.

Btw, thanks Aussie and Dan, but I didn't book myself, this time.

Would anyone care to reason with me and explain why Expedia should (will) honor all the tickets that originated in the USA, and not in Canada. The t&c clearly state that it must originate in Canada, and they stand to lose boatloads of money, so why do you think they will honor it?

Actually not, since I can't see myself going on vacation (or even a night in NYC) in the next month ;).
I just enjoy the deal that was found, and asked 3 questions in a row to better understand it, and would love if you or anyone can address them. thanks
