Can you take the cash if offered or is it for cash bought tickets only?
My experience on this is that redemption tickets gets offered less than paid tickets which kind of pissed me off.
This happened to me 3-4 years ago on a flight from HKG to JFK. I was on U while my friend was on paid J. Op down was offered with mine being less. I was pissed and I walked.
In my view, a U ticket should be treated equally as a J ticket at the airport and on board, with the exception of mileage accrual and J having the option to redeem for F.
