Dan we bought the tickets on usairways and we are coming home eruv shavot. We need to fly from PHL t

USAirways sent an email to people who bought the $300-$500 tickets to Israel that I posted about in late August from NYC and from other cities. The email says that USAirways will not be awarding any miles for any part of the ticket unless all segments are flown. In other words if you are booked from NYC-Philadelphia-Tel Aviv-Philadelphia-Toronto and you wind up skipping the Philadelphia-Toronto segment they are saying that they will not award miles for your entire trip.
Of course you can always continue onto Toronto and take a 4,500 Avios flight back to NYC or Chicago for example. Though one-way flights going to Toronto have just $2.50 in tax there is $50 in tax for one-way flights leaving from Toronto. my wifes carribean cruise pics The Chase British Airways card gives 50K signup my wifes carribean cruise pics Avios (Over 11 free short-haul flights) with the fee waived my wifes carribean cruise pics for the first year.
The far more interesting my wifes carribean cruise pics question will be if they can or will stop people from crediting the flown flights to a partner airline like Aegean or United if you try that be sure to let us know how it goes.
I am so happy that you are writing about this email from US Airways. I have received this email and i was starting to get a little concern if they are seeing that people are purposely skipping a flight.
So can you please confirm that i understood them correctly, If you skip a leg of a flight for instance you are walking out in Philly instead of continuing to Toronto, they wont charge you more that whatever you have already paid they wont just give the miles (which is a nice amount of mile) for the whole trip.
i am going to review the contract my wifes carribean cruise pics of carriage applicable to the actual ticket purchased and see if it states anywhere that you dont get ANY of the miles. cancelling the rest of a trip if you miss a portion is industry standard but i never heard of not getting miles for actual miles flown and btw, it is unlikely that it cant get credited to an alliance partner.
@ Shlomo : how can they charge more? they are just saying that if you dont fly, you wont get the miles but as noted above, it is not so clear that the terms and conditions of their program or United for that matter dont allow to cancel a certain portion.
You should be able to do it by logging into your reservation on USAirways.com. I don t usually buy USAirways tickets (the last time I flew them on a paid ticket was when Expedia paid for thousands of DansDeals my wifes carribean cruise pics readers Vegas vacations with the free Bellagio suite and show tickets ) so let me know how that goes.
@ Dan : @ Dan : thx dan. I also don t get why they wouldn t want the seats filled. These cheap tix are across multipe dates so the flights will still have plenty of regular paying customers. To lose those seats by offering such a long time to cancel seems to b a strange business decision
Connection times are 1 1/2 hours in Philly my wifes carribean cruise pics and Munich. Think that is enough time? If flight is delayed and we can t fly on the scheduled flight will they do anything to the remainder of the ticket? Will yhey put us on the next available flight?
I m arriving at 7:40 with a 9:15 departure. The average delay for the flight from LGA is 60 minutes. If it s looking like a delay should I immediately try to locate an agent? What are the odds if them helping me with changing my flight?
@Dan thanks as always, according to the contract of carriage my wifes carribean cruise pics it seems that they can charge a fee for the difference in price due to breaking their rule of beyond point ticketing . I see a lot of discussion about this on blogs but I m wondering if they ever really enforce it. In this case US Airways doesnt even have my credit card info, they would have to try to charge the fee back through Orbitz.
2- what r thoughts on being creative with them such as trying 2 get them 2 let me change dates so I can complete my entire trip 2 Toronto ? How Bout camcelling after 10/15( my wifes carribean cruise pics I might not b able 2 make my Chanukah trip but won t know till nov)?
If I bought 2 adult tickets and one under two ticket my wifes carribean cruise pics (the child one is free..). Are they going to charge me lap ticket when I in the airport, or since i informed them at the time of the buying the ticket that I will be bring a child I won t have to pay?
Dan thanks again for posting this great deal. I was ale to get tickets for shabbos Chanukah. I got this email from Us Air last night. My return flight is from TLV to AMS to PHI to TOronto. Is there. Any way the airline can decide to reroute and change my wifes carribean cruise pics the flight from AMS directly to Toronto?
ruined what ? the chance to get a few miles credited to your FF account ? I hardly think this is a big deal, we all knew this was possible from before, in fact in may be standard policy for them to do.
is there any way to suggest to USairways that they offer to add a charge for skipping the 1st flight, i would be glad to pay $50 to save the time of shlepping from newark. they should learn from ElAl how to make extra $$$ from their slip!
Dan we bought the tickets on usairways and we are coming home eruv shavot. We need to fly from PHL to Miami and the only flights that work is with us airways. If I book a new one way flight can they cancel either flight?
Firstly, thanks a ton for posting the deal again!! Not sure why anyone would want to cancel trip due to miles.. wasn t the whole idea that these tickets were so cheap? Earning miles or not, we re going!
For me it works out just ok! Cuz I live in YUL and I booked ORD-PHL-TLV, return TLV-PHL-YUL, I bought 4 tickets for 365.00 each!! Than of course I booked 4 one ways to ORD with BA Avios! my wifes carribean cruise pics So I will use all legs IYH and get full mileage, my wifes carribean cruise pics (will try to go for Aegean).
US knows they cant get DOT to allow them to void the tickets (anti-post purchase price increase regulation) They know DOT doesn t regulate matters on frequent flyer mile accrual so this is the only leverage there is to get people to cancel.
@ Shlomy : I emailed them and included my reservation number as instructed in this post and they refunded me in less than 24 hours! better hurry and do it before the 15th. Funny thing is that my tickets are still showing as active and changable! my wifes carribean cruise pics (suject to $300 change fee)
