Anyone have any idea what this weird flight is in my past reservation?

I had a trip to JFK-SFO-HNL return in April, yet this interesting flight persists in my "current reservations" for this coming October.

Anyone encountered anything similar? And what happens when I don't show up for it??

I have a trip from Rockford to Rockford that's been hanging around since the beginning of the year.

The question should be what happens if you show up for it? ;-)

Had this happen also --- It means "REFUND DEPARTMENT" (or something like that), NOT Rockford (RFD)! It was stuck to my itin's for nearly a year. I don't remember what was going on with this in the first place, and it happened a few years back?

I have two flights to TAK Th that have been on my reservations page since the changeover 3/3. There are even Record locator numbers, but when I pull them up they are blank. The reservations are not ticketed, but still just seem to hang in there.

I just chalk it up to computer glitch. still, it's funny to see the reservations always at the top of my current res list...

Those are cancelled trips from PMUA. In the conversion they got moved over and the system pulled in TAK. I can't remember the exact reason but somewhere on the forum here there is only.

In my case they show up because there is residual value and I can apply it as a credit to a new reservation + the change fee (of course).

I've got the RFD-RFD flight also. It showed up after the conversation and disappeared for a few months and is back again. I sent a PM to UAInsider about it back in March and never heard a word back.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I have a lot of "found" money. Will be calling asap!

an earlier related post with aircraft "ABD" and strange flight duration -- http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...7-one-hqs.html

consensus seems to be this are "test" records that are not properly cleaned up
