Ah, very interesting.

[Yordai Dooma]

Tried calling and they would not accommodate me yet on anything that is available as an award.
They asked me to wait until more of a decision is made between AC and LX on how they are supposed to handle it.

Anyone know what UA is doing about the situation? @Dan?

Yup, I went through a few of those calls. HUCA, it will work. Immediately ask for a supervisor as the agents have zero authority to do anything. Took 2 hours out of my day, but WELL worth it. Don’t give up!

[hvaces42]

Wondering if they will change my ZRH-EWR to TLV-EWR in J

im really not in any rush. i think ill wait it out and see what they offer before i get aggressive

[twentie4hrs]

Aeroplan just called me out of the blue and told me that, "Aeroplan and Swiss air are in conference calls and someone from Aeroplan should be giving me a call today or tomorrow with what their solution is and what they can offer"

[rileywiles23]

First call to AC. Manager said, swiss told them to rebook in J with no penalty, and refused to rebook in F on another airline.

I didn't take his option. Guy was giving me major attitude. Going to give it some more time.

actually just got off a call with them as well. They called us. Spent about 15 min and got nowhere. Only was willing to offer j which i refused to accept. She wasn't giving me much attitude, it was more the other way around.. I asked for her supervisor to call me but doubt that will happen. Im awfully curious how this all plays out if we all refused to be accommodated in J

The whole situation is really screwed up. Aeroplan can't afford to rebook everyone in F and even booking people into J is going to cost them an insane amount of money. It doesn't make any sense for them to take the fall for this, when they did absolutely nothing wrong, and for LX to get away with illegally canceling everyone's tickets. LX doesn't lose very much by allowing the tickets to stand anyway and it's they're system that allowed the tickets to go to inventory. I really think Matthew should be taking the fight to LX as apposed to AC as AC is doing, all things considered, a respectable job trying to accommodate everyone.

I still haven't heard what any other *A airline that had a ticket booked through them has done about the situation, does anyone know?

[AJK]

Nope. If that happens, AC will use AC miles to book LX J, just like a regular award booking; they're not paying LX for revenue seats.
