Two reservations on one flight??
« on: December 29, 2013, 08:21:11 AM »
I have a reservation on a United flight from NYC-TLV, can i make another reservation on the same flight? with hope to cancel the first one after booking the second (even it wont go to cancel i need to do it)

So my question is if it is possible to have on one flight 2 reservations and that the system accepts it?

Their system usually will not allow 2 separate reservations on the same flight not on the same itinerary to ticket, but I have had success before with having an agent book it manually.

I guess it's YMMV...

How about making the new reservation in a slightly different name?  Then after cancelling the first res, correct the name on the second.
Is that possible?  Would it work?

Long story short, I have 2 different reservations on the same LH flight. One is rev in Y and the second one is an award in J. Now I obviously intend to sit in J, but I'd at least like to get the mileage from the res in Y. Any ideas?

Check-in twice?

Don't you need to have your BP scanned upon boarding for the system to recognize that you were on the flight?

Chances are that one reservation will be automatically canceled.

That's not good. Any idea when something like that would happen?

Not sure, ask a TA.

I did ask the TA that booked my rev ticket. He said it shouldn't be a problem.

I bought an extra seat on the Delta glitch last year so I could have a seat for my child who was born between the glitch and my flight a few months later.
Gate agent was a little confused at first, but scanned both by seats (under my name) without an issue.

And you got miles for both?
