Please check (again) the date sequence of these two references.

If you read through the decision, it will be hard to argue now because most airline already include similar language like rule 5 (f). When those people purchased the tickets, Swiss airline did not contain rule 5(f) in the T&C.

When did that come out? I booked directly with them and have yet to see a similar email.

I got the email this afternoon, I had to call in and cancel the ticket. Maybe your ticket is good, but I rather get the bad news now than later when I am in BKK.

I know of the person listed in the article, he told me that he lost the case, and Swiss did not honor the ticket at the end..

Interesting. I might just hang out and see what happens. I'm using it to attend a conference in the States on the cheap and BKK isn't that far away from me as I'm in Australia.

I booked mine for two through ET's website. Have not gotten the email yet.

Please update guys, so i know when to pull the plug!

You'd better check tripcase e-ticket receipt to see it is "confirmed" or "ok to fly".
You might need to revalidate your ticket over the phone or in person before you can even check in - that's when you likely get the bad news.

Tripcase is saying confirmed. The original ticket issued via email has Ok to Fly written on it. I assume these are interchangable terms?

Jma12

Mine had "confirmed" as well before I received the email. Apparently the have a different definition with that.

Is that possible? If your CC gets charge, and you have the Ticket #, can you still get deny to board the flight? This is actually the first time I brought a mistake fare.

they csn deny you boarding st gate for any reason. many people were stuck in Singapore previously when sq said the fare was too cheap. people had to buy another ticket to leave singapore.

My ticket still looks intact on the Ethiopian website. No email yet with any cancellation notice. Is this ticket refundable up until the day of travel? I'm thinking of booking an award ticket on CX for the following day. If I get denied boarding on Ethiopian, I can (hopefully?) get a refund then use the CX ticket. If I get on Ethiopian I'll change my award ticket or eat $150 and redeposit my aa miles.

I don't know your travel dates, but if you're a long time lurker you should know what is required when booking error fares .
First and foremost it would be great if you and others here would just be patient. Some tickets already got cancelled and most likely more will be canceled. However, it is not unusual for some tickets to stay under the radar.
Just recently I experienced the situation that the ticket I booked through one OTA got cancelled within a few days, whereas other people reported no cancellations even though they booked trough the same OTA.
Of course some people are more nervous than others, but if you are not scheduled to fly within the next 2-3 weeks you can just lean back and see what happens.
As a rule of thumb, I'd say if you haven't heard from them within the first 2-4 weeks, the odds are quite high that you'll be able to fly.

My friend got his money refund to his AMEX card without any email notification from ET.
