Hello there,

So - some months ago we got round trip ticket for two w/ the $99 companion ticket certificate for Usair MCard (Juniper).

Fair amount of paperwork - sending certificate to AmericaWest, etc etc.

For some reason - my partner was listed as main traveler on the itinerary - so he is the one that is listed as paying the full ticket - I am listed as the 'companion traveler paying cheaply'.

It turns out that after we get to SEA - I have to go someplace else on business (also on America West) - and have paid for a totally separate ticket. I'm leaving the same day as our original return to PVD - but a few hours earlier.

So - thinking this through - is there any risk of PNC being cancelled halfway through my partner's return trip because I, as second traveler, didn't show for the return, and indeed went someplace else? He will be connecting through PHL. Again, the full-price ticket is under his name - the 'certificate' ticket under mine.

It would not be a good situation.

Thnx!

It seems as though you and he are at low risk for a problem. But, make sure he has a copy of your second itinerary just in case a ticket counter or gate agent wants to make an issue out of a non-issue, so that he can prove that you are giving US other business through your second ticket.

US has turned into almost nothing but a silly money grab, so you always need to be prepared to defend yourself against them.

When you get back to PVD have a couple of lobsters at Hemingway's on the river downtown for me!

You're getting me hungry now!!

Try to split your reservation with him. If you try to upgrade just Your Ticket they will split your reservation.

Hey all,

Thnx for the responses - should've been PNR instead of PNC (we use the term PNC internally at my biz for something that has nothing at all to do w/ travel - guess my fingers just went there).

Phoenix Flyer - Lobsters at Hemenway's are fab - and btw my alternate destination is PHX (briefly).

Zoric R - I just went ahead and asked to have the PNR split over the phone - and it was done no fuss no muss - no prob - both reservations showing up - nice idea!!!

Thnx all - I'm a lot more comfortable on this one now.

As a follow up, splitting the PNRs worked just fine - partner made it home - I made it to PHX - thnx all!
