Heard complaints over Shabbos that Dan made this deal on erev shabbos. Cmon Dan!

(Also some very happy customers :) )

Yah, I was bragging all shabbos that I got the "dansdeals tickets"

Amadeus didn't add the YQ, Worldspan did, and I think Sabre as well
All I know is if something works, it works. Shelf life on these things seems to get shorter each time, so it's not a race for perfection, it's just a race against the clock.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Do you think you shortened the shelf life?

I saw CheapOair and did some if my own research, because I knew I'd probably save a few bucks that way,  also I've heard a few bad reports from them, also I don't like they're cancellation policy, so I went to Kayak and booked with aircanada.com for only $275.20, they got ticketed instantly, later I found a mistake on one of the names, after the confirmation that the tickets will be honoured, I called Air Canada (I booked the ticket with them...) and they gladly changed the name for me which meant reissuing all the passengers. Thanks Dan, paid $1100 for 4 pax.
shucks! I didn't confirm tickets because I had spelled a name wrong...is that a general rule with airlines that you can change the name withen a certain amount of time?

I happen to notice on the manage your booking page that names can't be changed online, if you need to change call the reservation center within 24 hours of booking, and that's what I did

ya I saw thanks!  I should have confirmed the tickets and then went and changed the name...

Is that a policy with all airlines? that you can change the name of the passengers within 24 hours?

I'd say not
