Normally, I would pay to change the fee to be TPE-SFO directly, but in this case, circumstance have it that I have to change my flight path anyways. If I was going to be on TPE-SFO as it was anyways, I wanted to know if there was a legitimate way to notify the airline or work my situation to have a 24 - 48 hour layover in SFO.
You must feel good about your online ego belittling others with snide remarks. Good for you. |
Clearly someone has bad social skills to "answer" a question in that manner and even worse social skills to not even recognize that the method of delivery was inappropriate, if not completely obnoxious.
In addition to the 24 hour connection, the fare might allow a "stopover" in SFO for free or for a modest surcharge. A stopover is longer than 24 hours and may provide you with additional flexibility if you need it. The details would be in the fare rules which I'm sure you printed/PDFed when you made your reservation. ;) Otherwise you can ask the agent. |

Excuse me but you asked a question and got the correct answer to your question. I'm not sure why you think answering your question about your planned illicit behavior is talking down to you. It's telling you the truth.
Good luck OP! |

The OP said: "I wanted to make sure this was not "illegal"" and thus wants to avoid doing something illicit. Seems quite unfair to accuse the OP of planning illicit bahavior...
Good luck OP! |

I threw away a segment once and on a call months later regarding another PNR the rep saw it and asked and after much typing disposed of it. |
All,
Wanted to provide you a status and thank you for your help. After initially telling me that I would be subjected to paying the fare difference ($1000+) on several dates for an Eva Airway flight even though there was a Continental Coshare, after 2 hours of negotiating, explaining to the ticketing agent the policy (no fee for rebooking and difference in fare through 10 May), she said it would be 'tough' due to the numbers of seats left, but she was able to do it. I am now arriving at SFO at 3:50PM and departing the next day at 1:20PM. Thank you for the legal and helpful advice. No thank you to folks like gawhite411 :) |

Channa beat me to it. However long you wish to stay in SFO, you do eventually want to reach EWR, right? I'd be proactive and call just before the original flight, say you're having trouble making the connection. One could be stuck in SFO for so many reasons, they won't ask. Worst case they tell you your last leg is dead, and that's on them, not you. Best case, you visit SFO and still complete your trip.
Would "missing" the connection in your departure flight from City A to City C cause a cancellation of your return flight (from CIty C to CIty A)? |
If you do TPE-SFO-EWR, SFO will be your point of entry into US which means that you will need to clear migration & customs and pickup your language.
From there you are free to do what ever you want, but although there may be consequences... |
What about missing the return leg of a RT flight?
Say I flew a short route like IAH-->DFW but end up riding back with a friend in his car and missing the return leg? |

To clarify, assume my departure flight is from NY to SF (connection) to Seattle. My return is from Seattle to NY. Suppose on my departure flight, I stay in SF and thus, "miss" my connection flight from SF to Seattle. Will my return flight (from Seattle to NY) be cancelled?
