you have 3 legs on your booking? Which leg has been changed?

Actually, I went for 4 segments - and most had some changes (either different flight number or 10 minutes earlier arrival, or later departure etc.)

Turn up at MAD when it’s under airport control and they can fix it - if it’s not been cancelled

Indeed, I’m very disappointed if that’s what’s gonna happen. I’m scheduled to fly in March. I bought multiple sub 1k Iberia J tickets that never were cancelled.

Buying a 300$ J fare is clearly a “bet” - you win some, you lose some, but buying a 1k one shouldn’t be though…

My 3 trips in October are still valid, already booked my trip to position in Europe, hopefully I don't receive a phone call.

What I ant is actual evidence, not the hearsay of you or others as you cast aspersions at others.

Perhaps you did not notice the action taken by the lawyers is against LATAM. not Iberia. The email you referred to was sent by Iberia and admitted to an error by Iberia. That is not the message most of us received.

As patvd has had his ticket cancelled by Iberia for a mistake made by Iberia, he has options available to him to take the matter further, if that's the path they choose to follow.

The fact that some of us have chosen to take action against LATAM is nothing to do with you. Keep your snarky comments to yourself.

Just one question for @bimbonello do you work, or are you connected to either LATAM or Iberia? Your profile was created at the time this fare was discussed on FT and you have made post on not even one other thread up till this point.

All your posts are on this thread and most are downplaying the possibility of being able to fly on this ticket. Why?

Evidence of what?

People moaning about the class action should probably re-acquaint themselves with the title of the thread, specifically the '280' part.

Perhaps you missed this...

"might"

Oh man, you love conspiracy theories don't you? If you have put in such effort in stalking my posts, maybe you should also actually read them too. I said that I lost my previous/email account. I've never downplayed the possibility to fly the ticket - I genuinely wish for people to fpy it. I actually encouraged everyone to not call the airline and to just move on to keep small chance for others to slip through the cracks. I want to fly it too. I've done a number of similar rodeos. And more often than not, when people start digging and involving lawyers/media it ends up not well for everybody, especially in this instance when people feel so entitled that they think sueing for $250 biz fare is the right thing to do. Maybe you should read my posts again, before you start accusing me of being an airline employee or similar nonsense.

Perhaps you did not notice, but the inital cancellations had remarks "CANCEL DUE TO IB REQUEST". So obviously both airlines are involved and aware. The fact that LATAM was able to start cancelling the tickets within a few days also says something.

I could be like you and demand evidence for your statement. Where is the evidence in has nothing to do with IB tickets? Like I said, it might be related and at the minute there's more to suggest it is related than it isn't.

This. That’s how FT always have been and there is supposed to be a gentlemen etiquette around those fares: you accept the risk when you book it (anyway, the worst thing is usually you get refunded and end up not flying it). The fact this whole situation seems (I’m not involved in all the details - having booked the 1k and not the $300) completely out of hand now with lawyers and whatnots is only helping airline(s) to better address those fares in the future with better, faster processes

It’s still a tinfoil hat theory to say that IB is canceling 1k tickets because someone else is trying to fly 350€ tickets.
It’s not uncommon for such tickets to be canceled a couple weeks after booking. It’s not like they suddenly canceled them months later.
Sure, it’s possible that it has something to do with the LATAM tickets, but it’s also possible that the managers with a say in this were on vacation and their legal department figured it doesn’t matter if they cancel after a week or a month.
