Thanks for reading my post, despite it being "long" and "drawn out" (your words). I did not intend to contradict myself in my posting. The majority of the post was copied word for word from my complaint letter dated July 3 whereas the first paragraph was typed yesterday without my reviewing the time sequence to refresh my recollection, so I rounded up 10 minutes. Thanks for not giving me benefit of doubt
In case you don’t know, the long term parking terminal in JFK is connected via Air Train to the international departure terminal, allowing me to arrive at the check-in counter within a ten-minute period. The agents at the check-in counter gave three different “supposed” cut off times: 2:50p.m. to one person, 3:00p.m. to another, and 3:10p.m. to a third. This proves there was no set cut-off time, they just made it up as they went along, and this is why I legally can maintain that I arrived at the airport on time due to the airline’s lengthy lies about cut off time during and after the fact and nonsense about transmittal of passenger lists to Czech Republic for “security reasons” (absolute hogwash).
When an airline doesn’t state its cut-off time for boarding, it cannot claim a particular time is “too late” (my case is a case in point where they made up what the cut off time was, and obviously lied to three ticketed passengers).
As I point out above and in my first post, there was no set cut off time - they just made it up as they went along because the airline gets much more $$ from boarding stand-by passengers than from boarding a ticketed passenger like yours truly. Hopefully they will learn this treatment cannot pay-off long-term.
