Ticketing Question- TIA
Alright- here’s a question for the board.
1) Friend has a fully refundable ticket from A-B today with a return from B-A tomorrow.
2) Friend has a non-refundable ticket from A-C on Sat. with a return from C-A on Mon 7/6.
3) Friend grabbed a cheap last minute fare (last seat) from B-C tomorrow night grabbing the same return from C-A on Mon 7/6. This ticket is on hold through tomorrow night.
The problem:
Friend would ideally like to buy option 3 and cancel the B-A return tomorrow and cancel the non-refundable ticket #2 and just apply that to another future flight. However, Friend will not know (depending on work schedule tomorrow) if he can take the C-A flight tomorrow night, until tomorrow. Unfortunately, at some point in the next 24 hours AA is likely to cancel #3 since AA will see him with a duplicate itinerary on C-A on Mon 7/6 (one ticketed, one on hold).
Any suggestions for what Friend can do in order to keep option #3 alive until tomorrow?
The easiest thing would’ve been if Friend selected a different C-A flight, but he didn’t and it’s too late now and the fair is gone.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
