Travelocity oddity
This seems to be the only travel newsgroup with any action these days,
so I hope someone here can check something out for me... If anyone has a Travelocity account, please log in and check out their site's "Scratchpad" feature. Supposedly it keeps a list of recent searches there so you can refer back to them. I think it did work as advertised a few weeks ago when I first noticed it, but I didn't really make use of it. In the past few days I find dozens of listings there that I did not make. Things like flights from Seoul Korea to Prague, hotels in Tucson AZ, flights from Phoenix to Hawaii, car rentals in Amsterdam. The listings will come and go within minutes, to be replaced by equally random things. I'm certain that my account has not been hi-jacked, though I changed my password and deleted any stored payment info to be sure, and I'm keeping an eye on any bookings that might be made. I think it must the site itself going nuts. So, if you can, please check out the Scratchpad and see if it's working as expected. I already called Travelocity, and the nice lady seemed to understand my concern and said she would inform the system support people. I also emailed them through their contact page, but no response. |

rec.travel.air: So, if you can, please check out the Scratchpad and see if it's working as expected. Nothing odd on mine. Good for you. Disappointing for me, though. I was hoping it was more general problem so they would fix it quicker. I presume you've noticed that Travelocity is now merely a rebranded version of Expedia. The user accounts are still separate, but I expect sooner or later they'll combine them. Expedia also bought Orbitz but the sites aren't merged yet. Now that you mention it, I think I remember reading about that a while ago, but I had forgotten about it. I do have both an Expedia and Orbitz account, and the user name is the same for all. I haven't logged into them for a long time, but I wonder if this is some unexpected consequence of the accounts are getting mixed up in their common system? Thank you for checking. P.S. My Scratch pad currently includes flights from Jackson Hole WY to Fairbanks AK, hotels in Christchurch NZ, and a flight from Portland OR to Deadmans Cay, Bahamas. |

I thought for about a day that the Scratchpad thing was fixed, as nothing new appeared. I've complained to Travelocity several times in several ways, and it occurred to me that they may have just shut the feature off in my account. However, the crazy listings are back today with a vengeance. My Scratchpad currently includes a beach resort in Punta Cana Domincan Republic, flights for 3 from Denver to Florence Italy, and a hotel in Dubai. I'm tempted to take the Dubai hotel - 4 stars, and it's only $90 a night! I also noticed that, even though it seems to be recording a lot of other people's searches, it completely ignores my own. |
