Just heard our story on CBS 880 with a statement from United that they are only honoring the tickets of people who already flew. All others will have to rebook.  :'(

The first part is interesting. The second they've been saying for a few days already, without acting on it. I've started packing.

They're probably hoping that some people will just give up and get their refunds. As long as we still have e-tickets, were still good to go.

He is probably just upset he missed the it.
I enjoyed Budapest other than the fact that I missed this deal because I was there and that's why I kinda skipped the first 6 pages.

Anybody else get their CC refunded for the Tax fee? I know someone who was w/o calling or anything but the ticket is still valid...

Why would you say that. You will be fine unless someone from united notifies you otherwise

It will. and it has nothing to do with being printed or not, it has to do with the validity of the ticket referenced in the the number you printed. Granted, they may think twice of canceling when you already checked in, but other than that it makes no difference.

Ps. If you're going, and staying for more than 2-3 days, pls pm your schedule for a DO.

I wasn't disputing, but you asked if this happened to someone else, so I provided that tidbit.

Was this for a partner flight or for United metal?
What happens when you check the RES on United.com? (I see you say it's valid, how do you know?)

Oh right  :-[

It shows valid when checked on United.com. Not sure if United metal or not, I assume so, but I'll ask.

Somebody suggested taping UA attempting to charge the $150, hence admitting it's a binding contract. There is a report upthread of someone who got a domestic agent to manually redeposit 199,996 miles....

I am actually waiting on miles to be redeposited from this whole thing (changing my ticket etc..)...where was this report? Should I speak to a domestic agent to manually redeposit?
Is a manuel redeposit instant?
