Just got my parents out of LGA to MXP at $263 a ticket mid-Feb. Amazing. They've never been to Europe and my dad is Italian, should be special.

Booked LAX-BOM(segs on LX and Jet) in Sept at 12:05 PST Saturday. Showed on UA and Amadeus. No charge showed on Amex Sat or Sun. Received first email from Wid but no ticket email. Updated CC yesterday. At 5 A.M. PST got a text saying ticket was cancelled and check email from Wid. Email says"Kjære kunde,

Apparently all the bookings with Jet Airways segments got that message. I got one of those and then rebooked with LH segments through Frankfurt to get my IAD - BOM trip ticketed.

Once ticketed, you're going to fly.

WF has no desire to cancel. they're basking in the glory of the booking fees and the publicity. they won't cancel unilaterally, so long as noone (eg, UA or Amadeus) sues them.

The rules don't care about who the ticket is plated on, nor do they care about who issued it. What it cares about is that the flight leaves the US. Wideroe might say "hey, we're not within the DOT's jurisdiction, so, cancelled!." If that happened, the DOT will say "United! This guy/gal had a ticket for your flight leaving from the US. I don't care who issued the ticket, nor who cancelled it... they have the right to be on that flight! Give them a ticket now or face a hugggeeeee fine!" United: "OK DOT, tickets reissued. Hey, Wideroe, we just lost a shitload of money because of your mistake. You see this contract that we have with you that says you have to give us money for your mistake? Yeah, we're invoking that. Give us that YQ now." At this point Wideroe will: a. pay UA, issue is done with; b. refuse to pay, and then UA takes them to court for breach of contract, and will get their money there; or c. Wideroe will lose in court, not have enough money to pay back Wideroe, and will declare bankruptcy... UA is out of luck and will have to suck it up.

Widerøe has a revenue of about US$ 500 million, I doubt that they will go bankrupt because of this.

cancellation problems

Anyone else having an impossible time canceling extra wideroe bookings made in the rush that they no longer can use? I booked two LGA-MXP for different dates to find out when I could get off work, and just spent 2 hours trying to cancel via email and get someone on chat to confirm. Finally got someone to say it will happen overnight....so will I get the money back or not?

Meal Options in AC

Anyone have any idea how to set meal options for AC flights? I was able to change seats from wideroe, but don't see an option for meal options.

Thanks! Booked and ticketed (got PDFs) LGA - MXP in March, two tickets for $540 cad! Booked our return flights through YUL (home airport). Planning on skipping out on the last segment and not checking luggage.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 11:51 pm.
