Even though, status is still Confirmed, I guess the sudden appearance of the VOID part in the itinerary means something. And I hope you are just not looking at wrong place.
Want to screenshot and share? Obviously sanitize it first (remove names, PNRs, ticket numbers, FF Numbers, etc) so we can see what you're looking at specifically.

My understanding is that TripCase will show you both the PNR record and the eTicket under document view for a trip. Are you seeing one of those with the Void status in one with the whole trip? Or just like a single segment separated from the others.

I see 2 itineraries in tripcase - both show me PNR and eTicket under document view for a trip. And one of the eTickets shows the VOID row. Hopefully, you see the image now.

I've been denied boarding today(literally 2 hours ago)

My ticket was confirmed , already assigned seats.

Even Ethiopian Airline sent email about online check in yesterday.

I never received any email about this itinerary.


The staff at Check in counter just said refund or Economy.

" You can not board the flight because your fare is too cheap"


YEAH , This is how Ethiopian Airline handles the fare.

Anyone attempting to board at this point is taking a big gamble. Personally I wouldnt risk it and Im glad I did not purchase this

We already knew standard practice with EY for fares like this. I'm guessing there were people hoping they could slip by that sucks. thankfully at least you can still fly in Y and get to your destination and not be stranded.

Curious what would happen if you decided to fly Y, then disputed with your CC for product not as described or product not received.

That would be interesting..

While a free flight sounds fun.. don't forget that it's over 22,000 miles in economy class. That's well over the tolerance for many people.

It can be done... we did 32,000+ miles in coach and survived!

Trying to burn Continental miles, with MH.

Thanks for the update, so what option did you take? Flying in cattle class?

Now I am curious, what fare class will your FFP shows up as. Did they rebook you and give you a new PNR?

Oh one more thing, were you able to check in online before heading to airport?

The last data points from the previous mistake fare where people were downgraded show some FT'ers were rebooked into "T" class.

Smart move... even seated in coach I hear some airlines will come grab you out of your seat, beat you up and toss you off the plane... then say YOU were combative.

ET T class still earn 100% on A3 FFP... Humm. For MR point of view still a good run. But stuck in Y for that long may not be a pleasant experience as I was told...

Nearly all ET fares earn 100% on A3. If you were planning to credit to A3, I don't think it matters what you get rebooked into.
