If you want to see and example of a real ticket change scam, my sister fell for earlier this year was when she wanted to change her (somewhat flexible) directly-through-MH-ticketed ticket. She mindlessly used the Safari search agent on her iPhone and got some scammy site that charged her a substantial amount for the (free or cheap) change which she could have made for free by contacting the MH call centre directly.
yes
I would be very careful of the links provided on kayak.
Clicked on the link for a flight LAX-Paris on Air Bee and was sent to a site that pretty much just booked the tkt through Air bee and then charges me an extra $2300 for the booking fee and $50 a seat to reserve even though seat choice is free if you book directly.My credit card agency was able to let me get our of this luckily and I booked directly through the real Air Bee website.,
Again- outside of making more money is the any reason to cancel the original tkt and re purchase at a higher price?
