You basically paid the agent, and picked up the ticket at the airport

What a wonderful world. I remember our travel agent coming over to our house to drop off our tickets. For a LGA - DTW routing.  :)

They were awesome. All the different colored coupons......

Just a thought. Would anyone want to have a DDF TA get together or is it called a DO?  :)

We can even start our own Accreditation.

ARC
IATAN
CLIA
TRUE
DDF

Dan of course would need to approve that  :)

Am I the only Aviation/Travel Nerd that asks the airport reps if I can a look at their reservation system and start chatting how it is similar or different to our GDS's? And then pull out my laptop and show them Sabre and Amadeus? 8)

I assume that you guys are doing everything kosher....... but just FYI UA has become very strict when playing around with married segments. They just sent a debit memo to a friend of mine who made from a solid booked UA flight with a number of  J class seats available, a P class. This is the first time it happened. Since today it became even more complicated to overbook.. So it looks like UA is becoming more strict.
