True, but the point remains the same.
wasn't denying the point, just trying to correct a misconception throughout this thread

I booked for 5 people and I need to cancel 3/5. UA is not allowing me to split and cancel=nonrefundable reservation. Because it is within 24 hours Winderoe should allow a cancellation. Anyone have any luck with this?

Will they allow you to split?

How do I convert UA confirmation number for the Wideroe conf#? I split my reservation so now I only have a UA conf# that does not work on Wideroe

Missed the last bunch of pages, I have two simple questions:
1) How come this company is answering emails and helping out so many people calling it a promotion, and being so efficient when they obviously know that they are being taken advantage of, and might end up with a massive debit memo
2) How come united is still ticketing the tickets, they will have an easier way out with unticketed tickets.

Very possible that the front line employees as SAS have no idea that anything is not as it should be.

And, CMIIW, UA wouldn't even know if the YQ had been collected on the part of SAS?

Think they are sas employees or wideroe?

UA sees the price paid. They must know something is up. Plus they monitor the blogs

Logically, if they work that way. How can they not? There is so much money at stake in such errors.

So I split my reservations on UA, but on Wideroe its still all 5 on 1 reservation. There doesn't seem to be a way for me to cancel just 3/5 on Wideroe. Does anyone have any advice for me I really don't want to lose the 2 tickets just because 3 need to be canceled. I am running out of time here..

Whoeever they are, SAS or Wideroe, it's very possible they don't know anything. But when EU business opens up at 9am (in about 8 hours from now), someone's who isn't a front line employee is going to know. Count on it.

UA is the first or second largest airline in the world. This may just a blip on their radar. And even if it isn't, Widero/SAS is going to be accountable, not them. (Practically speaking it may be different...)

On a 3 person reservation that has ticketed, (for 2 parents and a teen), I accidently put August 30th as the teen's birthday instead of August 29. Can I fix it with United in any way?

Birthdays in tickets are meaningless.

Elal has made people buy a new ticket because of a wrong birthday.
