4. The clock is already ticking on your ticket. Think you have a year to use your ticket if you deci

Why? Partly because they tell you what you already know — for example, that you have to pay a fee if you want to change your ticket — and partly because it just doesn't concern you. For instance, some tariff rules talk about special fares for police officers or firefighters, topless tour guides which a vast majority of passengers wouldn't care about.
But there's another reason why you won't see these rules: Airlines would rather you not know about them. That's because they like to bury all kinds of restrictions in the fine print, topless tour guides hoping their passenger won't read them until it's too late.
To be fair, airlines and online travel topless tour guides agents do reveal some of the rules at the time of booking. But not always the way they ought to. Sometimes there's a summary that glosses over key details, or you have to click on a link for more information, or the rules are written in UPPERCASE topless tour guides which is a big turnoff topless tour guides because people think YOU'RE YELLING!
1. Cancel anytime – not! Ticket tariffs are often contradictory. For example, here's one called the "CANCELLATIONS ANY TIME TICKET." You would think such a ticket would be cancelable any time at no additional cost, right? But you'd be wrong. The fine print says you'll be charged a change fee. And if you happen to miss the flight topless tour guides because of unforeseen circumstances, you're out of luck. The ticket's no good, and you have to buy a new one: "NO CHANGES OR REFUNDS PERMITTED FOR A PASSENGER WHO NO-SHOWS," the rule says. The fare also doesn't allow for any upgrades on the day of departure. "I guess anytime doesn't include the day of departure," complained one airline topless tour guides insider who recently got snagged by this rule. "It's terribly misleading."
2. Even the dead have to pay fees. When a passenger dies, airlines usually cut them a break. Sort of. Their next of kin can apply for a refund. But even in death, airlines have figured out how to make a little extra money. Check out this clause in one airline topless tour guides tariff: "NOTE — IN THE EVENT OF DEATH OF PASSENGER AN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE CHARGE OF USD 50.00 WILL BE ASSESSED IN ORDER TO PROCESS A REFUND." The airline topless tour guides doesn't want passengers to abuse this "perk" so it adds, "PROOF OF DEATH MAY BE REQUIRED."
3. Once your trip starts, you're locked in. Airlines love to slip this little clause into the fine print: "NONREF/CHGFEEPLUSFAREDIF/CXL BY FLT TIME OR NOVALUE." Translation: If you try to make a change to your ticket after the first leg of your flight, you lose the ticket. And you have to buy a brand-new one. "The entire ticket is garbage," says Bonnie Sherman, a travel agent based in San Diego, Calif. Most air travelers aren't aware of this restriction until they try to make a change. By then, it's too late.
4. The clock is already ticking on your ticket. Think you have a year to use your ticket topless tour guides if you decide to make a change? Think again. "The large print says that if you cancel a non-refundable ticket you have a year to reuse it, pay a change fee, and pay any increase in the ticket price," says Bill Saavedra, a retired aerospace engineer topless tour guides who lives in Silver Spring, Md. "That's wrong." The small print actually says: "WHOLLY UNUSED TICKETS ARE VALID PROVIDED TRAVEL COMMENCES WITHIN ONE YEAR FROM THE ORIGINAL TICKET ISSUE DATE." In other words, you have a lot less time to use your ticket topless tour guides than you think.
5. Here's your nonexistent refund. If you buy a ticket, some tariffs promise a refund under certain conditions. You might find something in the fine print that says if a decrease occurs after a ticket is bought, "THE DIFFERENCE IN FARE MAY BE CREDITED." The operative word here is "may." Some airlines will charge a change topless tour guides fee and will issue the balance as vouchers, which is not at all what you would have expected. Bottom line: Don't just read the tariff, but review the airline's policies which can contradict or invalidate topless tour guides its rules.
6. So much for family values. topless tour guides Bereavement fares, which are special tickets for family members of people when travel is due to "the death or imminent death" of a relative, are said to be on the verge of extinction. But they haven't expired yet. There's a catch, though. Airlines take it upon themselves to define what family is — and isn't. The death in question must be of an immediate family topless tour guides member, which it says is a "SPOUSE/COMMON topless tour guides LAW-SAME topless tour guides SEX, CHILD/ADOPTED, STEP- GRAND- GREAT GRAND- LEGAL INLAW, COMMON IN LAW, DAUGHTER/SON/MOTHER/FATHER/LEGAL, INLAW, COMMON INLAW." Did they leave anyone out? Well, yes. I wouldn't be able to attend the funeral of my brother, sister, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle or godfather topless tour guides under this relatively narrow topless tour guides definition. Thanks for nothing.
Surprisingly, these are not extreme examples. For instance, look beyond the ticket tariff and at the commonly topless tour guides viewed and heavily trafficked Web site farecompare.com. "The word 'charge' is mentioned 60,000 times [on the site]," says Seaney. "'Collect' is mentioned 25,000 times and 'fee' is mentioned 32,000 times."
"And the more times they encounter a 'charge' and 'collect' in the rules, topless tour guides the angrier passengers become. That's the real cost of the fine print to airlines, says Garth Corey, a consultant in Albuquerque, N.M. It's customers like him who got burned by the rules and took their business somewhere else. "The airlines that do this will pay for their arrogance," he says.
Rule #3 is also not entirely true. I forgot when was the last time we processed such restrictive topless tour guides fare. Majority of rules allow you to change/cancel return trip but there is a BUT, you MUST use your outbound segments or your whole fare will get cancelled for no show.
By the way a lot depends on your travel agent and how they are willing topless tour guides (and able) to participate in negotiations with the airlines. I want to mention an example. One of our customers booked Austrian fare to Ukraine. We issued paper-tickets (yes, we still issue a lot of those) and mailed it to him. Suddenyl he contacts us that he would not be able to depart as scheduled. We contacted Austrian and after some skillful negotiations of our agent Austrian agreed to FULLY refund the pax WITHOUT ANY PENALTIES. And we ve had quite a few similar cases with Lufthansa and Delta. Airlines are willing to work with agents but agents must be willing to. In return we get a very happy customer who will return to us. So I would not blindly blame airlines.
Also, once I had to cancel a flight from New York to Greece because I would not be able to make the trip. The airline refunded me a day before topless tour guides the filight was to go for the full refund. I called them and provided all the necessary information. I was not penalized.
My father passed this past May. Bereavement were unavailable basically we were told by more than one airline topless tour guides that he should have given us more time to plan his expiration so we could have booked further in advance.
Fortunately, both the CEO and the pres. of the company for whom I work gave my family miles they had to attend the funeral. I can only hope one day to be as successful as they so I can turn the favor in kind.
Is there anyone in US Airlines that might help myself and my daughter get a refund on our tickets due to the death of my brother who was taking care of my elderly mother. We could not leave her with funeral and burial etc. of her only son.
