Migration issues with MBA from welcome screen!!! Does not finish keeps searching for information. Apple tech support advised to load OS on again. MBA gets lost loading OS ?? w' issue for no prompt for disc two! This leaves you with partial OS!!! Apple knows it is an problem now. MBA not as tight and tested as my other Apple products. Oh, how I wish they had fire wire option! I have returned and will wait for issue to settle down. Neat box too many potholes. Have a good time reaching the MBA tech team.
 
Have a good time reaching the MBA tech team.
Why reach the MBA tech team when you have helpful owners in a forum like this? :D

For example, in the thread "Complete Steps to Perform a Clean OS X Reinstall on Your MacBook Air" (which was posted two months ago), step 12 says:

12. When the Installer is done with OS X DVD #1, the MacBook Air will automatically restart and eject OS X DVD #1. When this occurs, go ahead and insert OS X DVD #2; YOU MAY NOT BE EXPLICITLY TOLD TO INSERT THE DVD. Insert the DVD and installation will continue automatically for about 10 to 20 more minutes. When installation is complete, you will be prompted to click Continue.

Sorry you ran into problems. Migration's great when it works, but it's never been 100% for everybody (based on the forum posts I've seen over the last several years).
