Ah ok. I might have to cancel as well. Wife isn't too happy about having to fly economy for so long. Funny coming from her since she used to say why fly in biz when you can fly 2 legs in coach for the same price. That all changed when she took her first J flight...  ::)
The flights were so cheap you could've booked an empty middle seat and flown ghetto first class 8).

The shortfall would be in an oversold flight situation but I'm curious if you could get both tickets scanned?

My DW still says that if she's traveling without me she will go economy. Don't know how she says that after acknowledging several times when traveling together that flying business is required on long flights.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Required when YOU are the one doing the work finding the J availability  ;D

FYI just called Emirates and rep informed me that my flight was cancelled. I never requested the cancellation but she said that (like as2 said above) ALL mispriced flights are being cancelled and emails should be going out shortly. She also said that I must fill out the refund request form located here. Seems crazy that they wouldn't automatically refund the money directly back on the card. I originally booked the flight through Emirates not Priceline.

I did communicate that it is absurd to cancel flights and then not automatically issue a refund. They really didn't care.

Very cool, but I fail to understand why they felt so compelled to say that the readership is mostly Jewish?  It almost felt like they were trying to imply that Emirates cancelled the tickets because most of those who booked were Jewish.

I think it's because it's a lighthearted article and that's why he said at the end Dan told DDFers to appeal to a "Higher Authority" for help...the DOT. I wouldn't be surprised if the author is an avid follower of Dan.  ;)

Very strange thing just happened. I booked these flights through amex travel and noticed today that the charges were not refunded on my credit card and when I login to the amex portal they are are no where to be found. Called amex travel and she confirmed the flights and told me to check on emirates using the record locator. (She also said the travel portal was having issues showing upcoming trips) Just checked on Emirates and its showing confirmed, ticketed etc (something that 24 hours after the initial purchase was showing as an error, which I assumed bc it was cancelled.) I decided to call emirates and they confirmed the entire booking in detail.

Btw I never got a cancellation email from amex or emirates themselves. Just wondering if anyone had similar experience?

Consider yourself extremely lucky, but I see you have a low post count here. Please allow me to offer you some very important advice: NEVER, EVER call the airline in situations like these!  If the booking says confirmed and ticketed -- then it is!  Had you landed a knowledgeable rep. who was aware of the circumstances, your tickets could have been canceled!
