Premium Price Mistake ex-EU (DoT Will Not Force United To Honor Tickets)

[EJB]

Any guesses whether they'll go after the taxes that were collected at an incorrect rate?

[DMYD]

And then they will force me to cancel ? what about 24 hour within booking ?

They aren't going to force you, you will just lose your reservation.

Think I'm going to go to sleep and hope to have some good news (or at least no bad news) by the morning.

I asked before, forgive me that i am asking again. If they do honor it can I rely that they will let me cancel anytime free of charge?

I remember dan had a great response in the yated about the halachik issues of glitches. I need some help explaining this one to the lor. His issue was with the writing of Denmark as the billing address. He said that since its a sheker, it would prohibit me from benefiting, regardless of whether it was honored or not. What should i respond? Maybe something that the billing address is to verify the credit card- and since its a legitimate credit card, its not really sheker? Or putting in denmark just keeps in it kroner, and since i wanted to pay in kroner i had to keep it in denmark? Any other ideas?

Wondering who discovers these things? Someone out there legit booking such a flight in Denmark money realized it was way less than it should be?

While I understand the glitch to be amazing, I don't know that that part can in anyway not be seen as sheker. Its the billing address. Do you live in Denmark? If not, I don't see how that specific point could be turned and twisted in anyway to be reflected as the truth.

Maybe more something for the ethics thread.

Most of the glitches I've seen the last year and a half have been better with Israel time than American
Another reason to move here

This has been out there I long time already that the currency conversion has low prices in different countries every so often at the end of the week I check myself every so often to see if I can get a cheap ticket

This is a price mistake though, not a russian ruble esque currency arbitrage thing.

Right but that is probably how they found it

Are you comfortable saying that this may not be the right thing to do but we're not perfect and we're doing it anyway because we're human?   

[SrulyP]

So i am trying to figure out how to confirm that there these tickets are refundable. For some reason i thought i saw that to be the case when i was booking a ticket but i was in such a rush i didnt read the fine print.... any way to check without calling???

[Yosef_S]

If you are ticketed, check the fare rules.

Is the airline liable for taxes that weren't collected properly?

IIRC, taxes aren't actually paid to the government on a per pax basis. Rather they are paid based on average load of pax requiring taxes to be paid. Is this correct?

Go to united, put in conf# and last name to view reservation. Below the total price paid will be a link to cancel reservation. Click on it and you'll see the details for cancelling.

Can you imagine a scenario where someone actually disagrees with your line of thinking and thinks this is actually not proper? Or is that to hard for your closed/small mind to fathom?
