It's unreasonable to expect even a frequent flyer to know exactly how one of these instruments should be filled out. To expect and occaisional flyer to know all the ins and outs, and what constitutes a "correctly completed MCO" is just plain absurd.

Seems like this system is ripe for abusing and defrauding customers.[/B]
The following is a link to the ARC website that teaches the ins and outs to travel agent's in the US how to properly fill out a MCO. Most of the theories apply to MCOs issued elsewhere or by an airline.

I got an DBC (MCO) from CP once and it said something to the tune of "NOT VALID IF AMOUNT EXCEEDS $1000". But that was a computer-printed DBC.

I am writing this note in the T1 MML lounge just after getting my MCO "fixed". Based on some of the comments here I was prepared for a bit of hassle . . . . What an anti-climax. . . . I presented my MCO to the agent, explained my travel agent would accept it because it wasn't filled out properly (didn't have a date). The agent said when did you get the MCO, I said Oct 00 and she said Okay and re-issued me another MCO dated Oct 00 - to expire Oct 01. No problems no nothing . . . .

I am off to Nassau to enjoy a week in the sun!


P.S. The MLL in T1 is quite nice, my kids really love watching the airplanes (wonder where they get that from?).
