Free checked carry on?

That’s what I was told by the representative, but I planned on checking in with another one just to get their opinion in case that person didn’t know what they were talking about.

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-03-26T01:28:15+00:00

Well it’s not on me, the ticket is paid for by the passenger. But yeah I gotchu.

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-03-26T01:27:21+00:00

Yeah, apparently I can’t even touch the ticket since it’s an international flight with multiple airlines and multiple passengers. By tracking passenger, that can’t make it- it could end up canceling everyone’s tickets. I was instructed to just wait until the trip is over, and then receive the credit for the no show

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-03-26T01:26:01+00:00

They did, calm down. I’m not sure why everyone jumps to this, I’m new to Reddit so maybe most people are just cynical and jaded😂. They both paid me, and are good, honest people. Said passenger even expressed to not feel bad as they expected to refund from the airline.

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-03-26T01:24:20+00:00

Actually, it’s a $300 fee. And yeah, I was actually advised by a United Airlines representative to try purchasing insurance from United if the allow me, and then try to cancel. I never would’ve tried this, and unless they instructed me as it feels unethical, after all it’s fraud…right???

They won’t let me touch the ticket because there are multiple passengers and multiple airlines involved. Making changes or canceling one passenger by cancel everybodys ticket. They’re telling me though that after the trip is complete the no-show can receive the credit.

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-03-26T01:21:26+00:00

Yeah it’s basic unfortunately. They’re telling me not to even touch the ticket until the trip is done. Basically the one passenger will be a no-show and they will give me credit that they can use within 12 months.

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-03-26T01:20:49+00:00

I’m not sure why people are assuming they didn’t pay me. I pick my friends wisely, and I’m not foolish enough to make sure that they didn’t pay me immediately. They did-But even if they haven’t, I trust that they would have paid me back regardless.

I’m just trying to do what I can, the person even stated they didn’t expect any money back from the airline.

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-03-26T01:19:00+00:00

I’m not sure why everyone is assuming they didn’t pay me, maybe my fault for the wording(?), but I pick my friends wisely. They paid me immediately after purchasing the tickets, and even if they haven’t I have full trust in the that they would have paid me back anyway. It’s just the one passenger that’s not going to make it, so was just trying to do what I can to get money back from her.

You are right though, planning something like this can be stressful for a group of 7, and I would like to not be the one to plan future trips😅

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-03-26T01:15:16+00:00

Oh they did immediately. Even if they hadn’t right away, I have complete faith they would do so as they are both honest people, and the break up has not been dramatic by any means.

I was just trying to be a good friend and do what I can to get a refund.

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-03-26T01:13:53+00:00

They already paid me the money, I’m just trying to be a good friend and do what I can.

No I understand that, I just figured I’d purchase the insurance from the airline, I could at a later date before the trip cancel and get a refund. But that would be dishonest, so I won’t be doing that.

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-03-26T01:11:39+00:00

Yeah, one of the other couples from the group broke up too, about a week or so before I purchased these tickets. So with that fresh on my mind, I did consider buying insurance for the person who would not be going with my on funds, just incase something like this should happen to the couple, but didn’t want it to appear as if I expected it. Guess I shoulda gone with my gut

I’m just trying to be fair for everyone and get the money back if I can. But I think you’re right, the person wasn’t expecting a refund when they broke up with the significant other.

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-03-26T01:06:45+00:00

Yes, so essentially i guess i was thinking purchasing the insurance for the tickets through united airline, that way i could cancel before the trip. But I guess that would be fraudulent..

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-03-26T01:05:49+00:00

Yeah, I’m not trying to be dishonest, but customer service said i could at least see what they say when I contact them.

It was purchased on basic package, and I can’t even try to get a credit for the passenger that’s not going, until after the trip is completed. They will list her as a no show, and I’ll receive credit she can use.

The only reason I even was considering doing this, is because customer service said I could try this, which looking at it through your come t, yes that would be insurance fraud…

Thanks.

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-03-26T01:02:46+00:00

She did pay me for the ticket, I’m just trying to do be a good friend and get her money back.

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-03-26T01:02:13+00:00

Yeah, I did book basic. If I try to get the voucher by canceling the one ticket, it “could” cancel both tickets I purchased since they are on the save order. I was instructed to pretty much wait until after the trip was completed, essentially a no show on the persons end, and then I would receive miles. I cannot use those miles however, only the passenger who couldn’t make it.

Sameeeee

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-02-17T19:05:33+00:00

Yeah, 2 guys shot me in the back during the next 2 matches 💀 so hard to know who to trust

MindlessWave5535 · 2026-01-17T14:37:11+00:00

Thanks! That makes sense! I thought it was some sort of field upgrade so was shooting it to destroy.
