As always, I played by all the rules, I have not spoken to the airline, I used online check-in, I did not attempt to check bags.
I was in the departure lounge before departure, I was paged and requested to come to the desk. At this point I was told by an airline representative named Simon (They weren't exactly clear about their position with the airline, and did not offer a last name when I asked) that as my ticket was purchased fraudulently and did not follow their terms and conditions, I would need to pay the surcharge if I wanted to fly, this is in addition to a rebooking fee on top as they would need to reissue my ticket.
It should be noted also that the representative had also requested airport security to be present for out "chat"
My ticket cost went from €200 to over €1000 in the space of 2 minutes.
I am now out of pocket that €200 and the hotel costs for my stay in C4.
I fully understand that there is always risk in FD tickets, but this trick has been used many times by myself and others that I speak with, no one has ever had a problem. This is obviously a direct result of the recent exposure, which has bordered on insanity.
The game isn't changing, it has already changed!
