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.


A lot of airlines are now investing in technology to track broken married segments, hidden city, churning, etc.

They are trying to stop it for decades.. As long they work with married segments there will always be a way to cut out the leg which you don't need... DL even sent out an email that for tickets issued after 24 hours there will be no DM, because they are so confident that their robot will pick it up, still I have no problem getting V/X class whenever I want :)

P.S. I am not a TA, I just like to play around with a GDS.

I figured that was what all the smiley faces were about regarding the "V" fares.

These days there appears to be GDS's in everyone's house  ;D

I'm not sure. There will be a subscription fee and set up fee.

You can email them.

What's the email address? The number I have for them requires an IATA.
