Was thinking the same. @yandmk where do you issue your tkts?
As mentioned, we reached out to AC 3 times, but they don't want to waive the refund fee. Question is only if the passenger is fully responsible, or if maybe I was supposed to inform him about the visa requirement.

I issued lately such a ticket, you think they will be denied boarding?
Why don't you (or the pax) just make the ETA? It takes 5 minutes and 7 CAD and it's done.
(Unless you're referring to the AZ issue?)

The call center?
Call, email, snail mail, airport reps, and everyone in between. I'm not sure what you're getting at. Want to explain what you want?

You, or the wholesaler you use, doesn't have a local sales rep with whom to discuss the issue?

I don't believe anyone wants a refund waiver, the cleints want the cheap AZ fares...

Is it a rule from the FAA? How is it that I've flown on many airlines during Yom Tov seasons that had way more INFs onboard than AZs limit?

They used to be much more lenient with overbooking

Just saying how many BS AZ can say....
No the FAA doesn't have such a rule. Well AZ didn't want to let me take a car seat either

Airlines are allowed to make whatever rules they like. If you don't like it, don't fly them. That's capitalism.

They actually mentioned to me that "each flight can only have a fix number if infants for
Security purpose"

(Yeah, that's Italian spelling)
