olm, you have to learn to read (Especially regarding TSE options, and specifically where i mention western. (Also you mention SVO, you clearly never travelled through SVO because if you did you would know that NYC-SVO-TSE would require transfer from SVO2 to SVO1, which is a nightmare in Moscow (even for a native Russian who I am). Either way the point is do your reasearch first.

I find it extremely funny that you go out of your way defending your coropration, which clearly screwed up. They are the ones oversold. When you oversell AND you screw up, you bite the bullet and compensate your customers who got screwed up by you overselling. If you (LH) pretend nothing happened (which is ironic since this is the tone of your post as well), you are no better that some banana airline from the third world where such things are norm.

Finally on LH advertising the full price. Major LOL.
Go to their US website. Now. They are advertising NY-Linz for $370.
I just did a quick search for the dates of their ad. Full ticket price - 1070. I rest my case. This is pure deception in advertising! This is also why i wont even bother replying to the rest of your "It didnt happen" post.
