US Airways changes non-refundable policy!
US Airways has seen the light! Hallelujah!
They have finally followed the rest of the industry and loosened their harsh policy on non-refundable tickets. See their press release at http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/030913/dcsa001_1.html I don't know if this will help my situation, but I want to thank the more than 1,000 people who visited my web site since it went online on last weekend. -- Flyer beware!

This wouldn't have stopped you from buying the one way AA tickets and losing your US return flights. You would have had to pay a fee of probably $100-200 per ticket to have them credited on future travel. |

They are still non refundable, but for a brief time some airlines had made them unchangeable If they were refundable and changeable, what would be the point of buying more expensive tickets? |

As far as I know, CO still has this policy that you must comit to a change prior to departure. This means if you want to change but haven't decided when to fly, you have to pay change fees twice. The announced policy change is good. I hope CO follow suit. |

"mrtravel" wrote in message m... They are still non refundable, but for a brief time some airlines had made them unchangeable I see. I thought non-fundable tickets meant the flight details were fixed and no changes would be allowed and no refunds given. That was the case with some domestic British Airways tickets I bought this year. I believe my transatlantic tickets could have been changed for a £75 fee however. |

As I wrote in my letter to US Airways in August, I was fully prepared to pay extra for any changes in my itinerary. Then why didn't you pay for a ticket on the next US Airways flight available after you got your birth certs? When the US Airways person told you to talk to your travel agent, did you ask to speak to a supervisor? As I understood it, your TA talked to US and for $700, you could have use the tickets on another flight. I think there was some confusion with the TA on whether you could simply pay this fee and change your current trip's flight. So, the question is, why did you end up paying for a new ticket on a different carrier and not simply try to make a later US flight? |

Delta also has chaned their policy (on Monday of this week I think), it
is now similar to what US Airways will be doing. I think that is sensible----I had to pay the international change fee ($200) on a ticket that had an original return date of July 31st. I rasied hell with DL, as they wanted me to eat the value of the ticket. |

No, that is "non-refundable, non-changeable", something totally different to "non-refundable". ========= Dave Don't Drink Drive.... It's A Laundry Detergent |
