Usually airlines can't cancel tickets that are within a two week departure range but then I remember that SWISS did exactly the same a few years ago.

I passed on this deal because I simply don't trust the LH Group of companies. Always trouble to book & fly with them.

Just got a phone call from the OTA.
The agent told me, just as what the OS pr mail stated, that I should travel in Y class on that booking according to OS.
I said I would definitely not take that, go back and show me some other option.
---------------------------------------
As someone who bought the AZ fare and the CX fare, I am pretty easy-going with these fares. Honouring or not, both will do, as long as the carrier handles it in style.
The point is that OS handles this mess in a slow yet rude way - what the heck is "you should travel in Y class on that booking" after a bloody whole week since that contract signed?
As a carrier running the BKK-VIE route, OS is supposed to have an idea on the fare, how much does Y class cost, how much does W class cost, and how much does J class cost.

Which ota are you using?
I heard that if you are in Thailand, the airline called not the ota. Very surprising

Ok, please keep us updating when you are checking in. Good luck.
BTW OS is calling you from Thai office or somewhere else?

Hi, tiamsanit. I booked through Trip.com, which is the Hong Kong subsidiary of Ctrip (the largest OTA in China I think). They called again yesterday, I told them just go ahead suspending the ticket if OS loved to handle things in this manner, I was not in a hurry anyway.

OS Thailand called me to choose one of the 4 options they offered, but I didn’t accept any. I booked the ticket via Expedia and Expedia insists this booking is still confirmed. So, I am really confused.
