Late September - LHR-NCL - £0

Interesting case. My admin assistant had gone above and beyond to conform with our 'cheapest economy only on shorthaul' policy and booked (spending half an hour on the phone with our corporate travel agent) my NCL connections accordingly as HBO economy on either end of our JFK route deal (J flexibility with D availability). I made a change to my plans which had already resulted in new connections being purchased at the cost of £200, and was away for 12 days and taking a checked bag so ended up paying $85 at JFK for the LHR-NCL bag fee (benevolently waived at NCL on the eay out). Anyway, I digress.

Asked about AUP at Galleries First. Told it was £78. Accepted, credit card swiped and asked for signature on their electronic pad...showing £98 (because I was on an HBO ticket). Decided against the higher fee, didn't sign, transaction voided and got an op--up at the gate!
