This surprised me a little bit. First, I don't think the OP's reservations were speculative, fraudulent, or false. Maybe they are speculative? However, I don't understand what "reservation in anticipation of demand" means. Maybe that's what the OP was doing?
Second, I didn't realize the T&C's threatened to cancel reservations. Has anyone had this happen?
I suppose they are speculative... I mean, I speculate I'll be in Baltimore by 4pm, but if any of my string of flights are late (on DL, NW) that day, then I speculate I'll make it to Baltimore by 7. I'll know at the latest by 2pm that I'd cancel the late flight, or cancel the earlier one.
Don't airlines overbook on the speculation that people aren't going to show up?
On another note, what if I were to book a flight from DTW-MDW in the morning on WN, fly home on NW, then book another flight in the afternoon DTW-MDW. (Maybe I just really like to fly, which is true) By these rules, it would appear that WN would possibly cancel all of my flights. On or about the same date sounds like they could cancel a Wed/Thurs like
ElmhurstNick was talking about.
I should clarify, I know what I'm doing is kind of wrong. I just am not sure how wrong it is...
