C1 - Carribean $5.99 one way ai. Return more expensive, but RTs possible <$80. No X factor thanks to a generous OTA.

The very best dumps are not the "standard dumps". Keep losing your time at them. In Sydney now, Qantas lounge, on a "non-standard ;)

Canceled leg on FD ticket booked on sketchy OTA
 
FD C1-C3 on SN for next month (already dead) was booked on Flightbank, but then noticed 2 months later that the BRU-BOM leg was canceled due to a delayed route initiation. OTA is shadily deferring to SN. SN says it's not their ticket stock and refers to OTA. How does one get around this for a re-routing rather than declaring it fraud? CC bill says SN...

If travel is on SN, then why wouldn't it be their ticket stock? What airline issued the ticket?

I have had a number of schedule changes on fuel dumped tickets that required human interaction but never a canceled route. In your case, I probably be inclined to get a refund, however it is possible, and then start over

So... are you in the lounge because of the fare class you were able to land, or because you'd be there anyway when passing through? :D

Mis-validation on the strike airline, I would guess. Cancel whole ticket -> refund by OTA is the way. Good luck. that's the risk of misvalidated tickets... See http://cheapflightalerts.org/check/

Not been on this forum in two years. Given the fact I'm becoming location independent in six months I figured it's about time I became friends with all the acronyms and Matrix once more. Hello old friends!

I'm finally going to need to actually dive in here and work my butt off on good C1-C6 options for QF (if that's even possible). Going to need it for my AS status in 2017! :p

Thanks to all who have blazed the trail, hopefully I can be useful (in whatever form that actually takes around here at this point...)

The best I could do is 261.51 GBP with very common OTA, but unflyable 1X.
