Random Airline Questions.

Amex travel says 24 hr rule does not apply to new tickets booked if even just partially using credit from older cancelled tickets. In this case they'll only give till the end of the day. (Is this in compliance?) It's nearly impossible to convert such credits (Amex FTCs) to ETC.
BEAWARE

Like any exchange by a TA.

For exchanges?

No, the 24-hour refund/reservation requirement for airlines does not apply to tickets booked through online travel agencies, travel agents, or other third-party agents.  However, these agents are free to apply the same or similar procedures to provide equivalent or similar customer service.

Whenever a TA does an exchange it can only be voided until 11.59 PM that night. after that, cancellation goes by fare rules.

Anyone can help me find jfk -yyz Nov 14 midday on points? So far only have Delta at 28k.

It should be easy to find low points flights on this short haul, but I can't.

Interesting, I was hoping for the 8k range.

How about Nov 13?

17,900 for the same flight
You’d be better off with bank points for that route

lol, was waiting for this. Yes, and...
The specifics of this case is that I bought a ticket for my son, and he asked for me to walk him to the gate which I was going to do by buying my ticket with mileage and then canceling after he boards, so being that I have the CC with said airline, I was wondering what would happen if I checked in his suitcase for him under my name. Anyway, I don't think I'll be so cheap as to risk it for $40, but that is the backstory to this question.

Pretty sure post 9/11 procols require the offloading of any bag whose owner does not board the plane.

Actually from way before. From the bomb that exploded over Scotland.

I believe it's only international that is required. I had it where we missed our flight after checking in luggage. They put us on a different flight but our luggage went on first flight to different airport.

To operate? yes
on time? no
They can move flights earlier or later and there is nothing you can do

Total craziness - typical Israeli

Was booked ATH-TLV for this Thur 7pm. They moved me to the next flight, without asking, at 10pm.
This morning I received another email saying that I was moved to the next flight at 12:30am.

Booked through Expedia (mistake?) and I'm not really getting anywhere. Expedia did ask if I want to cancel and they can find out from Israir if I could cancel and what, if any, fees there would be.

Any suggestions that I could try? Am I entitled to any compensation?
