With little time or opportunity to do a LHR-BKK run (guess I'm not much of an FT'er, eh? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif ), I didn't even try to book one of these. However, let me say that I do very much appreciate these alerts; who knows, one day there may be a CX F SFO-HKG for $20? Thanks to both Scott for the alert list, and Matthew for making public this particular opportunity!! Your money shouldn't be good in an airport bar for quite some time.

To answer your six questions:

Yes. But it ended yesterday.

SFO-HKG - can't you read?

You're looking at the thread already!

You might sue.

Yes, upgrade to Y.

Only based on fare paid.

If someone wants to fly F and even tries to book in this class then let them have it. An averge Joe Blow wouldn't even attempt to book in F, so there is no real risk of getting pax who are occasional tourists and thus disloyal to an airline. A person trying to book in F indicates that s/he has the capacity to fly in the searced fare class.</font>

I don't know when you were made a Duke or an Earl, but this "average Joe Blow" did indeed attempt to book an F ticket for 0 + taxes. There is no evidence, other than your ridiculous attempts to argue that TG should give these tickets away, to suggest that only those people who can afford to buy F/C tickets otherwise booked these. Even if that were so, you should give your product away following an obvious error because those that tried to take advantage could afford to pay the full price, had it been charged? What's the logic here? (Besides I want my free TG?)

Your tortured logic about "occasional tourist" and "disloyalty" is really hard to follow, though it all seems to come down to: although a mistake was made it makes sense for TG to honor these tickets. (i.e. we're back to I want my free TG.)

I am, however, having drinks with a group of City solicitors tonight and, since this intrigues me, I'll bring this fiasco up tonight when conversation gets boring.

I'll let you know their views tomorrow.

Well, conversation did get boring so I brought this up with 3 contracts lawyers.

I'll save you the boring legalese, but the bottom line, in the UK at least, is that any amount of time/money spent pursuing this is wasted. You stand no chance of forcing TG to ticket these reservations. You stand a marginally higher then zero of finding a competent lawyer who is willing to argue the case.

I'm very tempted to post the false statement:

"Hey everyone! I just successfully ticketed mine at the CTO! Go to it!"

...but even I'm not that cruel.

Honeslty, until that post I wouldn't have a clue who the list is coming from. Sure I've read about it, taken advantage of it, but I don't remember each and every post and each and every sender here on FlyerTalk. That's a good thing, because if there were so few posts that I could, then it wouldn't be worth it.

So, let me say thanks.
