Assume you've tried OLCI? IB seems to not have any timeframe on when you can check in for your flight, I tried it with my ticket number and indeed it only pulled up the IB segments MAD-LIM and SCL-MAD with the LA LIM-SCL missing, but the system was going to let me check in if I kept clicking through. Some other people upthread have also done OLCI which seems to me that the IB segments will be flyable. If the e-ticket was out of sync or had issues, usually OLCI won't work (don't know about IB, others here more familiar seem to have zero faith in their IT, LOL).

I guess if your ticket was indeed cancelled then that's it, but doesn't seem to be the case with a number of other posters, and at least so far myself as well. I'm not going to attempt to talk to IB (or LA for that matter) for a while yet as my flights aren't immediate. Some of the posters more familiar with EC 261 seem to feel that after an undefined period of time passes, then we may get some traction on re-routes, etc. I think some people actually want to fly it as an open jaw and are happy with what they have, but personally I'd prefer to go to SCL at this point, I've spent a lot more time in Peru before than Chile, so would be the preferred way. Of course that's still available on my own dime, but naturally would rather not pay $200 for an LCC or a lot more for LA flights, real shame that Avianca Peru folded, they used to be pretty generous about space-a upgrades for *G passengers.

How are people doing OLCI with Iberia already? I am getting the message that I can only check within 24 hours.

Thanks for your feedback - I appreciate it.
None of the above cases represents my situation though. I have a confirmed ticket with the OTA and LATAM but missing the coupons. Now the question is about who has deleted them. Strong evidence that IBERIA has done so. I did not call for cancelation. But Iberia says - "You can not fly that ticket but we have not touched it." LATAM same. OTA same. Ticket under airport control. Noone can touch it.

Flight next Tuesday.
Intersting case.

Iberia is a pretty poor operator, at least from a customer service perspective, at the best of times. I'd have no issue believing it's the one lying.

This is a true whodunit mystery, which of the three lying weasels canceled the tickets? It looks like that most likely IB requested it and LA did it, or IB did it..

I think their plan is relatively clear, IB led the effort to disable the tickets, and no all three play dumb giving us the run around, and likely keep our money for a while, too.

This is going to set a new low regarding how flash sales are being handled....Gaslighting the customers and wasting everyone's time.

LATAM dumped the YQ, otherwise, should be valid fare. Wonder how the $1000 tickets on IB were handled.

According to reports earlier in this thread, those IB stock tickets were also cancelled.

OTA claims airline canceled the ticket, not the flight
Iberia, Refuses to answers questions or tells me to call LATAM because it's ticket number 045
LATAM says, the first segment is Iberia. Call them
seems like a game of go fish

i purchased mine directly with IB sub 1000, still with Status OK (reissued etickets right now to my email and it all seems fine). Any other way to check booking validity without calling the airline?

Get this from Priceline in Sunday, no refund yet

Check on Iberia.com my reservation still exists:

We have received notification from your airline that your reservation has been changed according to your request, or has been cancelled due to day-of-travel flight cancellation or traveler no-show.
Because these changes have been made directly with or by the airline, any questions regarding your itinerary should be directed to the airline; we will be unable to address any questions or requests regarding this reservation. Please call Iberia directly at 1-800-772-4642, and reference the following Airline Confirmation number:

Please note that future changes, including schedule change notifications from the airline, will no longer be sent to us, which means that our website will not reflect your most up-to-date itinerary. Please call your carrier prior to each departure to confirm your flight information.

To add, I booked those circa 1k flights before (to GRU) directly with IB and they flew without issue… Curious as to why they would cancel that one (1k is a steal, but arguably not as much of a steal as the initial fare available in this thread). Any insights from people here that got their IB-booked, IB-operated flights, canceled ?

Wait and see.

Yes, you only have a certain timeframe AFTER you receive the purchased product.
So if you preorder a physical good, the deadline won't start until you receive it because otherwise you wouldn't be able to file a chargeback anymore for any product defects.
Same for flights (at least with Visa+MC), countdown for chargebacks does not start until the 1st flight was supposed to happen since the merchant / airline have not provided the cardholder with anything for their money yet.
Thats why flight bookings are considered high risk products for payment processors and the rolling reserve / fees are higher (for most psp)

This is my case, but I was bitc*hed for repeating this when I considered it necessary
The direct "1K" flights (859 euros RT after applying IB Cards and Santander One discounts) cancelled without any official notification. The new thing is that I requested (online) an invoice and I just got it without any issue. My credit card had been just charged as well.

I paid slightly more than that, cc charged, etickets received, booking available and showing ok on IB website, so how did you find it was cancelled? Any thing I should be on the lookout for? Flight is still a couple of months out, but I’ll have (at some point) to start organizing the trip .
