We've given up on United, not because of you but because of a similar experience where we actually took them to small claims and won. That said, they've shown no inclination to pay the judgment. If nothing else, it was really nice to see the judge (United insisted on a real judge for the thing) chew them out for their anti-consumer stance...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5381178255275083049.post-31719625139961266472007-01-26T10:56:00.000-05:002007-01-26T10:56:00.000-05:00Did you post on untied.com at all?

It looks like a case of passing the buck. The "broken legs" images do not look like tickets or an e-ticket passenger receipt. They look like itineraries which are different than tickets. They should of given you a passenger receipt in San Diego which had a 13 digit ticket number, either starting with 016 (United ticket) or 603 (Sri Lankan Airlines), which you can clearly see on the images of the new tickets your parents purchased in LAX and Singapore. If the original ticket, which your parents traveled on, was issued on Sri Lankan Airlines (603 ticket number), then all changes would had to been handled by Sri Lankan Airlines. If the ticket was issued on UAL (016 ticket number), then UA could of handled the exchange in San Diego and Omaha. What I suggest is go through your records, and check to see if you were given a new ticket number in San Diego, and also, when it was re-issued in Omaha. Then compare it with the original ticket number which was purchased in Sri Lanka. If there is a new ticket number, then UAL should of honored the ticket without a question. If not, the agents in San Diego and Omaha did nothing but change the reservation and print you an itinerary. Which is different than re-issuing the ticket, which is the valid travel document. Even if the ticket was electronic, the should of given you a passenger receipt which has new ticket numbers. It is very tragic that your parents had to pay so much due to being mis-informed. But definitely compare the tickets and ticket numbers. I am coming to this conclusion based on the information and images posted on your blog. I can't say my info is entirely accurate since I don't know both sides of the stories...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5381178255275083049.post-4208424860075921082007-01-25T14:33:00.000-05:002007-01-25T14:33:00.000-05:00I've been following your story, and am appalled at...I've been following your story, and am appalled at the treatment from United Airlines.<br /><br />It is absolutely unacceptable, and I vow to never, ever fly United again because of your situation.<br /><br />I am also telling everyone I know about your blog so that they can make informed decisions on where to spend their travel dollars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
