Fare difference problems after first leg flown
Hi all, slightly odd one. I had a good Inverness to Las Vegas fare originally booked in business: INV-LHR-PHL-LAS-PHL-LAS At Inverness I got news that someone was taken seriously ill so got off the plane at Heathrow and told AA that I wouldn’t be flying. No problem, very nice and they removed the segments, held the return just in case, but it turns out I couldn’t fly that either. Ive now called to reprice this ticket, and I can’t get a fare change for any date for the rest of the year for less then £3400. A big part of the problem is that since I’ve flown the INV-LHR segment is that the ticket has to be repriced as a LHR-LAS ticket, which are always insanely priced. He checked if I could route from somewhere else like DUB but it wasn’t allowed. It wasnt an expensive ticket (~£1100) so it’s not the end of the world to loose it, it’s just a little annoying to loose a business class return... theyre waiving the £300 change fee for family emergency, but can’t waive things like 7 day advance purchase rates, or over ride the origin issue. any ideas? |
Yea, not much you can do. I've had a few instances over the years where I've had to cancel trips mid-itinerary like this. Every time it was cheaper to just book a brand new ticket to wherever than to try and salvage any value from the cancelled ticket.
