syd barrett Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 There is a Qatar Airways Offer of 356 GBP Return LON-BKK. Suppose I bought a ticket, but did not fly out LON-BKK but attempted to return BKK-LON. Would they honour my return leg of the ticket? How about this? I have a flight London-Dubai-Bangkok Return. On the outward trip I don't check-in in London, but attempt to check in, in Dubai, because I'm already there. Will they honour my flight ticket portion?

They would cancel the ticket I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovenman Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The airlines are hip to that trick. Guaranteed cancellation of the return portion of the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briley Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 There was talk a year or two ago of the EU insisting that airlines must accept return portions of a ticket even if the outbound portion has not been used. Did that ever get anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farma Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Last month a friend made a quick trip back to the UK on BA due to a death in the family. The 4 sector return trip included a 3 hour limo trip instead of flights for the first and last legs. For convenience he travelled the first leg in a friend’s car instead of the limo and caught the flight at the airport. He flew to the UK without problems. Due to a misunderstanding the travel agent failed to inform the airline that he would be driving the first leg. On check-in at Heathrow for his return journey he was informed that due to his failure to catch the limo on the first leg his ticket showed as no show and his ticket was cancelled. After some negotiation the check-in staff at Heathrow contacted BA’s welfare department who reactivated his ticket allowing him to fly back.

syd barrett Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 It seems very unfair to me. Suppose you missed you flight, paid for the next one, then assumed the return leg was O.K. I will look into this, maybe email the airlines and get their views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporting Dog Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I wanted to do the same SIN-BKK-SIN - contacted Swiss Air, Cathay, Singapore Air and all told me that subsequent legs will be cancelled if the first leg is missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look into this, maybe email the airlines and get their views. That would be different as long as the new flight was with the same airline and they were aware of the need to adjust the booking. But if you just don't take the flight, they'll cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miserere Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 "Buying An Air Ticket But Only Using One Leg?, Is This Allowed?" It is allowed but hopping will not get you discount even if the prosthetic is stored in the hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
