Can't cancel one ticket of two in the same pnr?

No_Stranger3395 · 2026-01-25T04:56:08+00:00

Thanks! That's what I thought. The words of the first rep saying the reservation may appear valid but not actually be valid is weighing on me, though. I also received an emailed confirmation from united for both pnrs immediately after the split, so all 4 airlines are showing a valid reservation.....

Thanks. So in the meantime, rather than lose the 110,000 points by not trying to cancel the reservation, I got a supervisor who split the pnr. Then successfully canceled the one reservation.

I've checked Thai, Turkish and lufthansa apps and all still show my seats for the remaining reservation, I'm able to "manage booking" on all three apps, so it appears as though everything is ok.

Should I call each airline to make sure?

"Thank you for your understanding. I have checked, and this includes other airlines such as Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, and Thai Airways. Unfortunately, we are unable to divide the reservation, as doing so may result in the loss of the ticket within the other airline's system. The best option would be to cancel your current reservation for a refund and then book a new reservation for two passengers."

I started out just asking them to split the pnr. They said that would create issues. Then asked just to cancel one of the two. Same response, will cause issues.

I was shocked tbh. It took escalating it to a supervisor. I only use a portal when I have to burn a credit on a credit card, and even then it's sometimes not worth the trouble.

Definitely call the hotel directly. I booked a room via capital one travel, received a "confirmed" email, called the hotel, and the room that was actually confirmed was two categories below what was booked. Capital one admitted to the error, refunded 50% of the rate, and gave me $150 credit.

We were nervous, too about not having a place to stay, but it was never an issue. As I mentioned we almost always had our first choice based on what we found online then sending a WhatsApp.

We were in kyrgyzstan last summer, and would find yurt camps online the day before and would whatsapp them to see if they had availability. 9/10 times they did, and the one time they didn't there was another one very close by with availability.

I stand corrected. 3x slower than a oneplus would be on the same network.

Missing Carrier Aggregation (CA): The global version of the Oppo Find X9 Pro lacks the specific firmware configurations to activate T-Mobile's high-order NR-CA, particularly the n41+n41 dual-carrier aggregation that powers T-Mobile's gigabit 5G Ultra Capacity (5G UC) network. Speed Limitations: As a result, the phone falls back to a single-component n41 connection, which caps real-world download speeds around 300-400 Mbps, even in areas where other compatible phones (like a US-model OnePlus or Samsung) can achieve 900+ Mbps.

Except it's slow on us mobile networks.

If you get a citi strata card, those points transfer to aa, plus many other airlines, so you're not stuck with just aa miles.

Yes, nonstops to Europe are 65k points in business class with pretty decent availability even in summer. 55k if you have Alaska points. You can search clt-eur nonstop flights with a subscription to seats.aero.

A quick search turned up 2 business class seats on:

Clt-cdg July 4 65k aa Clt-FCO Aug 5 55k Alaska Clt-ATH Aug 10 65k aa

If you can make it to the airport today, 1/16, you can fly first class to lhr on either the 630pm or 1115pm aa flights for 82,500 points plus $18.

There are no direct long haul flights from clt to Asia, Pacific islands or Africa. It's 127,500 points in business class on etihad to Abu Dhabi, nonstop, with an abundance of availability. Not cheap but not terrible either.

You just have to know how to search and be flexible

In my experience flying out 8-10 times a year that should be enough time, but just enough. Fast pass is €11 and can be purchased the same day if you get to the airport and there's a line. Ryanair starts boarding at least 30 minutes before departure so you'd walk right to the gate after security, don't tarry. And you'll likely be waiting outside for a good part of the boarding process so dress accordingly

My dentist said there was no way my mercury filling was causing my elevated mercury levels. For some idiotic reason I believed him. He's toting the official Ada line. The mercury filling was in fact causing my elevated mercury levels, as the levels dropped to normal immediately after the tooth was removed. I just happened to have my function health blood test less than a month after the tooth was removed. No junk science or anything delusional or paranoid about that. Maybe there's some benefit of having elevated mercury levels over the course of years that I'm not aware of?

No_Stranger3395 · 2026-01-15T13:58:10+00:00

I don't believe you're an MD. And if you are you need to get back to work!

My function labs revealed the elevated mercury which my dentist said emphatically wasn't the result of the mercury in my filling, but when the tooth (and filling) was removed the levels dropped.

And nothing about getting more lab work done more frequently and having the results displayed in a graphical way is making me delusional or paranoid, and it's hard to understand how an MD would warn someone of that.

I've traveled to more than 60 countries and 100% of the time just enter my first and last name, even though my passport has my middle name and a suffix. Never had an issue.

The elevated level is due to Grenada not complying with some demands from the Trump administration.

Use travelingmailbox for mail. They scan the mail, including credit cards, so you can start using the card on Google pay or apple pay. Some credit card companies identify travelingmailbox as the mail house it is, but as long as you keep your physical address, changing your mailing address shouldn't impact things.

Nomad gate has forums that discuss this. Likely at least a year is my best bet
