Cheaptrips International Cheaptrips member Airport nightmare and vacation goes bye bye! Los Angeles, California

This about Air tickets Pay for by check for the amount of 2650 dollars. The service was not delivered; I went to the Philadelphia airport at 9am my flight leaves at 11:30 am. First of all I contacted the agent of this ticket three weeks earlier of concerns about numbers on the itinerary of Oct. 19 2010! When buying this ticket their was no confirmation number or anything to indicate the funds changed hands until my bank statement came showing the money taken from my account.Ok back to the three weeks earlier the agent said I have all I need just take it to the ticket window at the airport. Today Dec. 17 2010 at 9:00 am to the United Airlines window the said we do not fly to Florida we use US airway. 24 hours earlier I tried to use early check in; The United Airlines website could not find my name or my wifes name in the system. I was concern and started calling the ticketing agent 11:30 am on Dec16 2010 all I got was a answering machine, we will get back you in the order of your call, I am in the panic mode now, so I go to the airport and my panic attack was justified ; WHAT DO I DO NOW!!!!Here at the airport the wife and I with fourchecked bags two carry on bags computer bag and purse, just got left off by my daughter. I am still calling the number in California office not open until 12 oclock EST! I called my daughter back went home, the wife in tears. I found the number of another office call them and said call the office in California thats not open until 12 EST I been calling the Californialine since 11:30am on the 16 now 17^th at 6:00pm no reply I AM LOST FOR WHAT TO DO!!!!
