So you work as a Travel Agent as your real job?

Batchy to the true but sad rescue. I guess Dan still feels that its worth the HUCA in potentially getting a very nice or uninformed agent that might just book you in LY direct. My two times did not work out and they were aware of the rules and regulations on the spot. Will give it another shot tomorrow..

Once you have notes in the PNR it's unlikely HUCA will work unless you get a TA to remove the notes...
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

It's not the notes that's the problem, it's this document:

Probably took me a half-hour to write that post. I guess that cost me my HT. :P

Nu nu. I still provided more nitty-gritty detail than you, anyway. >:D

Let me add something. I would Dan can add that to the MS as well  ;)

The idea of HUCA works as LONG some a$$ hole does not note the ticket WARNING not to give you LY etc. (they usually note it when they feel that they will have to pay out of pocket for your new LY tkt   ::) )

The way not to find your self in such situation is by not arguing with AA reps, you can politely try to convince them to give you LY but once you see that the agent is stubborn, DO NOT ARGUE. It will not help. It will only cause the rep to put a not on the tkt and then the deal is sealed.

One more important thing is to write down the name of the rep you're speaking with. So when you call again and the same rep picks up you just give her the busy signal. By speaking twice to the same agent is causes here to put notes as well.

We can open up a HUCA master thread and put this in the Wiki ;)
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

Anyone know which website Craz is referring to?

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/25307139-post169.html
"That said most folks wouldnt buy tkts so far out a month or so yes but 6+ months nope Unless they were off a glitch or mistake fare both of which US has had its share with this past yr to TLV and gets splashed on another site and thulsy you can have 100s if nor 1000s running and booking tkts either award or rev way in advance then they normally would. Those folks have a whole different take on the CXing of the route and are all  yet they were a main reason for this years heavy losses.Of cause they want US to remain hoping they will have many a glitch and mistake fare next yr and yrs after that

And no I didnt get in on any of those tkts"

...

They arent looking to be made whole they are trying to figure out whats the best way to profit by what they have before them


Although I must say that he's relentless in the thread, and I'm only halfway through it.

And @Dan, you should be proud that you're apparently responsible for their heavy losses this year.

Craz is a old time hater. He did make this place interesting back in the day though.
