>I'm sorry you misunderstood what interlining is. It simply doesn't mean that your two tickets are considered one ticket for all intents and purposes. Interlining would be if S7 sold you a ticket with Cathay flights and S7 flights. That's not what you did here.

There is plenty of talk on the forum about 'interlining' two different purchased tickets and people who have done it.

>You also seem to misunderstand the minimum connecting time - which applies when you are booked on a SINGLE ticket - and what is wise to do on two separate tickets.

Again, CX staff told me it was above minimum connecting time 1.5 hours so was ok to go ahead and connect two tickets, which they did. I got my luggage tagged all the way to KJA.

>You seem very angry, and I understand your frustration. But please do not take it out on people who are trying to help you.

Don't be patronising it is an acronym that is used widely and was directed at the point of the alliance, not you. I'm actually very calm considering.

> There was an error made my Cathay Pacific in ticketing you on the new flight. This has nothing to do with them being in the same alliance or not. A human being made an error.

The ticket !!WAS!! interlined by CX staff all the way to KJA. CX didn't meet me at transfer. CX provided me an invalid ticket and S7 can't help me resolve while i'm stranded in Moscow. I would say that is failing the following statement:

Oneworld was the first global alliance to introduce interline ticketing between member airlines, which means you enjoy smooth transfers and greater flexibility across the entire network, and offers the widest range of alliance fares, making it easier to travel throughout its global network.

Thought you knew your stuff at first but now i don't. I stand by all i've written. Let's agree to differ...
