We non have access to eZED on AF, JetBlue, Thai Airways, and (most importantly to me) Iberia. There is a $3.15 fee per segment that is refundable only if the whole ticket is not used.
There is a link on DLnet if you missed it. If you use the eZED post up and let us know how it went.
As an asside, Iberia is a great airline to travel on with kids.
I'm glad you posted this! I missed the story blurb. What a cool tool!! I like how it's recommended to buy one-ways for refundability of service charge!
eZED = e-ticket ZEDs ? Is it DL software or a major company?
We only have e-tkt with AY and AF so far.
It's Lufthansa System's MyIDTravel software. Unlike what you have with AY/AF (which is interline eTicketing) the product currently supports only electronic ticketing by the transporting airline. This means that an employee of DL intending to travel on B6 is issued a ticket by B6, not DL, upon validation of eligibility by DL.
In order for this to occur, both carriers must be customers of Lufthansa Systems.
Thanks AAzed, very interesting indeed...
Would be interesting if it became a standard, it would certainly be a lot easier
Just as an FYI...
Delta ticket counter agents can no longer process paper ZED tickets for the airlines participating in the E-Zed program...we get an error message whenever we try to process one in DLTerm...found that out yesterday when trying to do a ZED ticket on jetBlue for someone out of PBI...if the airline in participating in E-ZED you MUST purchase via travelnet...
that's good info to get from the agent's end! the trsvelnet memo update says vaild thru Jan 5, so if it doesn't work now, I'm making sure I get it done right! NOW--if they can just get that Blackberry app to work for nonrev travelnet...(they say it's in the future)
Thanks for that heads up. DLnet said we still had 3 weeks before it was mandatory.
Anyone looked on Travelnet to see what it says now? Also, has anyone tried to book an eZED on a smartphone?

I am such a technopeasant ,. I have a flip phone that hasn't completed remedial phone 101, much less desired to become smart.
I think we'll trade mine in for the Android and Boss will get that one, and I'll get his BBerry.
But, I am clueless about most phones since I actually use mine to speak to people!
Saw the posting about the extension to January 5th and tried to do an EZed on B6 again last night and it went thru with no issues...glad they reinstated us with access, for a while at least...Quote:

Hello all, and Happy New Year, Bonne Année, Fröhliches Neues Jahr!
Thanks for all this info about eZed, I would have started my France trip on Sunday without a clue about this if it hadn't been for y'all. So I started bying an AF ticket NCE-CDG, just to try, and got through to pricing and stopped, because I really don't want it yet. But here's a question: does refunding work electronically, and well? When someone has had some experience with cancelling ann eZed booking, using eZed, please let us know if it works as expected..like automatic refund to the CC used to pay? Thanks.
Haltz--Youmight want to get on tomorrow's flight--not sure if Sunday will be a good one with the carry-over from canceled connections--IF you can get to JFK
There is not way I'll get on a connection out of CVG to make the flight--20 up front and I won't need a seat as of now.(miracles do happen but snow+NYC isn't a typical miracle to expect!!)
Good luck, happy travels
Hi, 767er and others. Made it fine on the 9th DL 82 JFK-NCE. The only nail-biter was:up-front or not? We had about 6 hrs at JFK, so I kept looking at the standby list vs airpost stby list, and lo and behold when we went from the former to the latter our hire date changed from 6/24/04 to the day's date 1/09/11! And we got S4 priority. Seemed fishy, because suddenly we were behind all the Buddy Passes. I got screenshots and will send them to 9E pass bureau, for what it's worth. Talked to the gate agent (when she had a free moment) and she said that's the way it is. Then, at boarding time, the Airport stby list suddenly showed us assigned to up-front seats, so we uttered a silent cheer. Still didn't have paper yet, the gate agent was all alone handling a 180-seat plane, so she was at the gate itself. We made it to where she was, she gave us our passes: 24 a and b. We sucked it up. settled into our coach seats, stuffed the carry-ons overhead. Door about to close, along comes gate agent, gives us two new passes: 1e and 4C, and we scramble forward. Bless her heart. Last 2 seats up front.
Wish us luck for the trip back Mar 25!
That's pretty hairy--as I checked your seating later and I saw you had BE. I never made my trip--next time!! I have Rome for next month 48 hrs--first time for me!
In the meantime, we're off to HKG for wk+.
Enjoy Southern France!
Can anyone get the myidtravel page to load via Travelnet.... I can't
I think I had to open it in IE, mozilla/fiorefox isn't always supported w/DL links
Anyone know of a way to use it on a mac? it's a pain to find a windows machine every time I want to check eZeds.
yeah michael I use a mac as well and have the same problem.. doesnt work on safari, google chrome, or firefox
There was a question asked about refunds on myidtravel.com. The refunds are processed automatically when you cancel your booking (as well the canellation of your booking on myidtravel will also cancel you listing on that carrier!). Keep in mind that as long as you have no used any portion of the booked trip you will also be refunded the booking fee for each leg (around $5.00), however if you start your trip and cancel a portion of it, the fee is not refundable. The refunds will appear on your credit card within 3 to 5 days after cancelling your tickets.
The great thing about the EZed system is you are listed automatically when you request your tickets, so no more phone calls or waiting on hold. However, it is nice to chat with a live agent from time to time!
I wish that myidtravel.com had the travel bank option wherein when you cancel your tickets the refund can be held as a credit and used towards another reservation. Id90.com offers the travel bank and friends of mine love the option.
The great thing about these systems is that they simplifly (I could not help myself) ZED travel for the Airlines and the Travellers. No more paper or long lines at staff travel offices. I believe the deadline for ETICKET ZED travel is January of 2012, so that means all carriers will have to choose one of the two systems out there. No more buying hoards of backup tickets to get home, everything can now be done instantly online!
Happy Travels
Before we had the eZed with AF I was able to check AF loads by using https://gp.airfrance.fr/FR/en/LoginAFAction.gpnet with the user name GPDL and password DL006. I can still get to the site but the login no longer works and the blurb about using it gone from the AF page in travelnet.
Does anyone have a login that works?
I don't believe you can access it because we have ezed system instead
I have to say i'm a bit miffed over this whole ezed/e-ticketing business...
So, we reduced to ZL for oneworld, except QF who remain ZM. So if I need to go thru SYD, I need to issue to QF to ensure I get ZM and can then use on BA. Except on 11 May, we cutover to eticket with BA, which means I must have their e-ticket with exact city pairs. But their system is having issues, so they can keep using paper tickets on us until further notice.
Am I the only one who doesn't see this as easier? How is is easier to have electronic tickets when I need to buy a million backups because they are not valid on oneworld or valid all zed carriers?
I like it for a couple reasons; I don't need to buy unless I need to use it. No need to find an open DL ticket counter, just hop on the 'net and buy your ticket -AND you're listed.
Give it time. ZED tickets are such a small volume that resources are generally difficult to obtain to manage the nuances that exist between ZED tickets and commercial tickets. The systems, as you know, are created to support commercial tickets. Over time, as more and more carriers convert to eTicketing (both for issue and lift) you'll see alot of the benefits come back, probably better than before. Until then, as carriers are converted on a one-off basis, it will likely be frustrating. There are definitely some benefits to eTicketing, as I expect those at airlines that have implemented several of these types of ZED relationships can tell you. Until then, we're going to need to grin and bear the pain.Quote:
