He said he cannot take my money because it shows on his screen that it is fully paid which was bizzare because the screen clearly said "Payment status: PENDING" but at the same time "Amt due: 0.00" which seems contradictory!! Then he says if there is an issue I can pay it at the airport.

Well, at the airport they say that no further charges are due, it's all paid up!

To date (it's been 6 months!) no charges have been applied on my CC nor have I paid it any other way, in effect the flight has been absolutely FREE! ^

I wish all my transactions were this way
Important questions:

1. Did you still accrue FF miles?
2. Where was your seat? Up front? Up front in coach? In the back in a middle seat surround by out-of-control kids whose parents were NOT seated nearby?
