Do most people book one way cash tickets when they are flying RT?
If it works out cheaper that then yes
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

You didn't select Denmark as your residence. You chose to pay in kroner and entered your US address and zip.


No. You chose Denmark as your billing address.

I didn't make up a Denmark address, I wrote a US address and Zip.
Just as I would do if I selected to buy from Amazon Denmark and pay in Kroner.

Regardless I cancelled mine on my own volition, so I don't have a dog in this fight anyway.

And I don't think DoT will force UA to honor this one.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Again, you said your billing address is in Denmark - which is a lie.

No need to justify yourself, I have no problem with lying. I'm cool with that.

Just don't say you didn't have to lie in order to book.

Dan,
Can you elaborate why you think DOT will side with United.
Based on svaros, or because United got inside info from dot before they cancelled?

I would have thought they would be against anything where you had to use some type of trick. Basically if you can't be 100% honest then don't do it. Is putting Denmark as the country dishonest?
Gotcha. In terms of my Rabbi, he doesn't think of it as a trick. He pointed out that there was some lawsuit against Amazon (not sure of a link at this time) when they were charging different prices on the same items based on your location. He doesn't feel they have the right to do that, and neither should UA with Denmark. Even though it supposedly wasn't UA charging a different price for Danish people (although some reports are saying the prices were off more than just the 1-decimal-place-currency-error), you can choose whatever location will get you the cheapest cost for the item.

Even if one does view it as a trick to say he/she is in Denmark, what about the people who actually live there? Why is it right that their tickets should be cancelled?

Its interesting. Just looked up a better explanation of what the billing address implies.

"A billing address is the address where you are receiving the statements for your credit card. For your order to be approved when shopping online the billing address has to match this address since it is the registered address on the card.
In the USA, many online merchants require a US billing address. They do this to protect themselves against credit card fraud. The AVS (address verification software) credit card processors use helps them detect when credit card data is submitted incorrectly.


According to that statement I wouldn't know how this would have ever gone through anyways bc for anyone that is listing Denmark as country, that will never match the CC info. UNLESS it doesn't look at a match in country but rather in address you provide (such as matching zip code and street only).
Work hard, Play harder!

Bingo and some AVS looks at the beginning of your first address line only.

Of all the CC processors I have seen (I'm in the business of writing the code to integrate CC processors) I don't think I have ever seen the country passed along to the processor.
Most will work even if you don't pass any address info. Some will just check the zip code. Others will try and match the address line 1
