Ticket Expiring 5/28/11
 
I believe the rules are a canceled ticket has to be used within one year but was wondering, can I book a trip for later this month & then cancel that one, thus extending my ticket for another year? Thanks!

I know it works that way with my wallet credits. Not sure about an expiring ticket...but....shouldnt that be a my wallet credit?

We have a similar cancelled ticket and it is not in our "My Wallet' folder. I

Not in "my wallet" so don't think that's the answer. Will try the buy/cancel again scheme as will lose value anyway. Will report back if it works.

You are not AS gold by chance? If you add the ticket to mywallet then it *should* reset the date... but not certain how it works w/o status.

Nope, no status on AS.

Can you take the ticket #027.... and load it into your wallet and then make a reservation for some other time? I think you just have to purchase another reservation to keep it going.

I 100% believe in "utilizing" (some would say "exploiting") Alaska's policies to maximize benefit to the traveller. So, kudos for finding a loophole that allows you to keep this ticket value.

At the same time, I hope this doesn't happen so often that Alaska notices and decides to change its policies...
