Hi there,
A friend and I are going to Guatemala, he's going from NYC, I am going from Mexico, and we both are returning to NYC.
As the price of return flight was just 20$ more than one-way, we booked 2 return tickets to ensure we'll be in the same plane (there were just 2 seats remaining).
Today, I just checked that paying the return ticket, I could just use part of it. NO! If I don't board on the NYC>Guate flight, my Guate>NYC will be cancelled!
I am so upset I didn't know! We're stupid! But I don't understand why they care?!
If I pay for the whole trip, why do they care that I use just a part of it? - I asked if I could change the name to sell it, no.
- Can I just cancel the NYC>Guatemala part? No
- Can I cancel this ticket and rebuy a Guate>NYC with the refund? No
- Can I chage it to a return ticket from Guate to NYC so I don't mind if I don't show up for the return? No
The only option I have is to rebook (the price is double now) and I'll get a voucher of the value of my flight less 150$... That I can use only on flight going from US...
Has someone ever been in this situation before? Any idea?
Thanks a lot...
Sophie
