ethical

adjective
1.
pertaining to or dealing with morals or the principles of morality; pertaining to right and wrong in conduct.
2.
being in accordance with the rules or standards for right conduct or practice, especially the standards of a profession.

source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ethical

Couldn’t agree more.
If there’s a legitimate reason for the airline to waive the penalty and fare differential than it would be fair to pass the savings to the customer (obviously a TA can charge a service fee for their time). If it’s a voluntary exchange, then you have to really bend the truth to get the penalty waived. So in essence you’d be lying through your teeth to get the fee waived and then keep a chunk of the savings for yourself as a reward for being “inventive”. That’s lying and stealing IMHO.
If you can get the penalty waived as a courtesy without making up a story, then it’s a totally different situation.

New Distribution Capability (NDC) is very interesting and is signalling a shift in how airline products are offered and sold. The GDS is going to be around for a long time, even while NDC is rolled out. I find it fascinating.

Below are some links regarding NDC.

ARC has a pretty detailed explanation of NDC in this report

United Airlines E-Ticket in GDS But Not In United System
« Reply #486 on: December 18, 2014, 04:18:28 PM »
Has anyone ticketed a passenger on United Airlines with or without a code-share and have the tickets showing in the GDS but United saying there is no ticket? Are you a traveler that this has happened to?

This happened to me once when using Amadeus.

Thanks.

Think this should be in the GDS thread.
Had once the where the SR came back as NO (KSML not offered on UA 84/90) and Amadeus claim the link was down

Admin please move to GDS thread.

I have had the same thing with KSML on UA with Amadeus. I had to call United for them to put the KSML in.

Not at my pleasure.
Amadeus recycles OIDs, and just had them make a major privacy mistake/screwup for the second time

With DL if I leave out an E on a ticket. Lets say Liberman instead of Leiberman. Will the passenger have any problems at the airport?

Just Change it. DL allows it for just one letter.
