Booking flights from the Uk via US/Aussie Expedia Sites

GRUFFALO

cheers Amy now i can plan my journey from edinburgh to heathrow

worried_now i didnt catch the name of who i spoke to but i called the general enquiries line on the number i gave on one of the previous post. im taking completely_lost advice and going to keep on checking nwa website until i get hold of these etickets !

worried_now

Gruffalo im from edinburgh also ..Maybe they dont like people from edinburgh lol ...Im going to phone back yet again tommorrow if no tickets but hoping were going to wake up them then :j there is no set pattern to the way bestflights are issuing them ..I was thinking it was maybe in some kind of destination order or something but i doubt it :rotfl:

GRUFFALO

a fellow edinburger yeh your right there doesnt seem to be a set pattern heres hoping we get our tickets in the next few days.

worried_now

I wonder if worried_now and completely_lost are related, or more sinister, are the same person. now that would be a worry. Only joking, have a good trip the pair of you.!!

worried_now

Stoneman i wish i was completely lost at least i would have my eticket numbers lol ...Im still no further forward with it all ..Phoned again just now and guess what ..The same answer as before ..There is a back log and they have 70 people to ticket..Which was exactly the same as was told yesterday so obviously there not doing there work lol ...Anyways the bottom line is ..She told me hopefully monday now but she doesnt know !! And all should be ok !!...I told her need to book my accomadation she said oh dont worry you SHOULD be safe to book it now !! A lot of faff !!

Worried now, sorry you still havent got it all sorted out yet, wonder how many are in the same boat as you?
I do hope you havent speant all your savings on the cost of al them calls to Oz;)

I am sure it will work out ok but still like you i wouldnt book accommodation either just yet although i am sure all is ok i think there is so much accommodation on offer you will be sure to get a great place to stay.
How many of you are travelling if its a party i recommend get your self a nice villa with your own private pool, a 4bed with pool to sleep up to 10 for a shade over £400 a week maybe less as it will be low season.

Hi mitch there is only 3 of us ..I have been a few times before and have always stayed in a villa but want to spend couple days in disney itself this time ..Stayed in hard rock hotel for a couple of days when was there in june ..Looking to spend the first 2 days disney and then a week in villa then 2 days hard rock hotel...I have used the same villa the past 3 times and would have like to again as very close to everything and good friendship with the owners now also but he has other people enquiring but would rather give to me first but i dont want to commit and not fair to ask him to wait IYKWIM...Im in a catch 22 but as you say theres loads accomadation but was told disney booking and hard rock hotel booking fast as im looking for the xmas weeks itself but dont want to commit yet

Blindman, did you book with Expedia? I've got my reservation details from NWA, with e-ticket numbers etc, but can't log into checkmytrip.com. Is the log in number the numbers/letters under the barcode on the NWA reservation page?

expedia block you from using these sites as they want you to go to theirs for all your needs! It's very common and nothing to worry about at all

Worried Now,
What is the cancelation policy for Disney and Hard rock, if its a no loss with a decent notice go book if there is a loss for cancellation then i can understand. Seems you arent having it so lucky but i am sure it will be worth all the hassles later when your under some Florida sunshine sipping a Pina Colda or two. Disney at Xmas should be real fun too.
Not sure how you are booking hotels etc but look at going through Quidco Hotelopia 10% cashback Hotels.com 8% cashback.. worth a look
I have used both these before and with enough notice when i cancelled i did not get a penalty but closer you get there was a penalty and it went up as the stay got closer but no more than 1 nights stay.
Hotels.com do have a no penalty fee for cancellation i see Hotelopia do have a fee.
