What is a VCR and why does my booking not have one?
Hi folks,
I'm flying tomorrow on an reward itinerary booked though Aeroplan, flying with SQ and WY in Business, from JFK to MCT via FRA.
I was able to successfully check-in online for my first segment in the SQ app, but got an error when checking into the WY segment. I assumed it was an issue with SQ being unable to check in the WY segment, so tried to directly check in via the Oman Air website. That also failed, giving me an "Check in is not allowed for this reservation due to missing VCR" error.
From what little I can find online, a VCR is essentially the record of payment for the ticket so I'm a little nervous that it appears to be missing from my booking. Is there a risk of me being denied boarding once I reach FRA and try to manually check-in with WY in person?
I suspect my booking is somehow "broken" due to WY joining OneWorld and reissuing existing reward tickets. Theres been a few quirks with my booking which I just put down to technical glitches, but now I wonder if its part of a bigger issue. For example, both my Air Canada and Singapore apps show different ticket numbers to the Oman Air app, and only the SQ app shows my booked seat numbers while the others are blank.
Is this something I should be concerned about?
