Now mind you, I am not a lawyer and this should not be construed as legal advice. Especially from a man named "Baloney."

Good thing you are not a lawyer giving legal advice, or you would be guilty of malpractice. These are disguised sales and also violate the contract between the customer and the airline. They don't work to get around the scalping laws or airline rules. Period.
