Can my mum check in online and I check in at the terminal on the same ticket ? If so then I can take the luggage and get the proirity boarding pass .

Thats the question I would like to know can she have no contact until we hit the states ? If I recall every time I boarded a plane they ask for your passport and ticket ready ??


To further add from reading there is a allowance of 2 letters mispelt in your full name so shouldn't be a worry to check in.

the NAME will NOT be an issue. Won't matter if they check your passport/ticket 100 times

Hi, I am currently in Honolulu flying back to Aust. tomorrow.
I got here without any issues and my name was spelt wrong. AIR NZ added my 1st and 2nd names together and no one even questioned me!!

Your issue won't be the name spelling Shanye - it will be the validity of tickets which were procured through two now-closed accounts which were cancelled secondary to ticket fraud. That's what I'd be worried about.

why is Shaynee so cagy in answering any questions!? Doesn't add up.

yes and no. In your case it's fine. But in other cases 2 letters could completely change the name (could make it from a female to male or v.v.). It will depend on the circumstances. But again - the example you have given is fine.

Thank you that's the info I'm looking for .

Im not sure what this talk about ticket from cancelled accounts is that wasn't my question maybe I'm been mistaken for someone else .

Did you check in like normal and did they pick up on the error at the counter or when you entered USA ?

I think you may have split personalities?

Hi everyone,

Just an update.

Hi Pumbaa
Thanks for the update...
I was wondering how you were both going.
You have certainly had an interesting experience over there in the last few days! Enjoy the Westin and safe travels back to Perth.

So Shanye are you saying that the tickets for you and your mum were booked from additional US Airways accounts that have not been cancelled? How many US Airways accounts in your name do you have?

 

[Alanslegal]

There is no identity issue here

I think its about time to let the cat out of the bag .Anyone who wants to help great anyone that wants to clap and smile go ahead.
I went ahead with a flight for a friend syd-jnb I used my points I paid with my credit card. He transferred the money into my PayPal account. One month later my wife wakes me up says she just received a Emial from [email protected] saying her account is closed. Along with my account , 2 daughters accounts , mother sisters and brother account. After I just finished doing the rounds with the sharing promo. A little over 800k gone and friends flight cancelled .

..... So my mum account who is 60 got closed and taken because she doesn't have a credit card so I have to use mine. .....

In reference to your upcoming trip to the USA in now 16 days time, with incorrect names on the tickets, who knows? Maybe Gitmo

I'm also worse ring next time I go to America I could get a nice surprise at the airport ?

My own personal account . I don't believe there is any way to get any miles back . I'm more concerned about the part they me mention about civil and criminal charges . My safety is most important and then the money .

Unblock ? I'm not giving up the miles . I admit my mistake it was once only I have written email after email all polite asking for explanation and nothing returned . My top prioirty is if I can be arrested my next visit to USA . Then retrieval of not my miles but families miles . My girls are 5 and 3 so it hard to argue for them but wife sister and mother the points should be refunded . They took a aggressive action with is unfair .

 

[Aussie_flyer]

there is a chance you will be arrested on arrival in the USA shanye2233.

Hi Fifa!
We are doing very well since moving from powerless downtown to our nice powered hotel in Midtown . We are leaving New York to Perth tomorrow, and even through I love holidays, I'm looking forward to getting back home!

One good thing about all this was my GF and I got to go see the New York Knicks play the Miami Heat at Madison Square Gardens last night! I've always wanted to see an NBA game, but we never got our timings right. It was an amazing experience, and something I won't forget for a long time

I look forward to hearing about your Asiana F flight now that I've missed mine. I hope its great, and maybe one day soon I can experience it too

 

[QF029]

sigh.

I'm not sure why you keep getting drawn in?

 

[anat0l]

Are you travelling with bags? You will need to see a person to drop those off. you will also need to see a person if you want priority immigration card for sydney to skip the queues. Someone with more knowledge will be able to step in here, but can you have 'contactless' check-in for an international flight with the ultimate destination as the USA? (does a member of staff have to physically see passports and match with ESTA etc?)

I think USA requirements state that a passport needs to be sighted and ESTA checked (along with APIS information, too, including things like where you are staying in the USA, etc.). I don't know the exact rules, but I've heard that a carrier (don't know whether it's the first carrier of uplift of the journey, or the carrier carrying the passenger to the USA) will be in trouble if they allow someone to travel without ESTA clearance and/or a visa.

If anyone has access to Timatic, that may provide an insight as to what needs to be sighted at check-in before a passenger is allowed to proceed with a journey. This is a big guess, however.

In any case, I don't think it helps much to discuss it, because I'm thinking that ultimately, barring being a US citizen, I don't think you can proceed with this kind of journey without any human contact at the airline level at all.

I'll take your word for it that the middle names don't matter too much. After that, whether Shanye2233 has a bad ticket or not is another issue; we'll cross that bridge when we have to (and hopefully won't have to).

I actually tried to get Air NZ to fix the name but they did not respond, maybe because it was a USDM booking?
i have just checked in at HNL for my return flights again without issue.

 

[shane2603]

Hi Terry, Can I ask your itinerary please? I am interested in getting to HNL with USDM but keep having trouble with routing.

 

[Alanslegal]

I hope my girlfriend and her friend made their flight right now TG659 ICN-BKK. It was 918am and they're still in the lounge, and their 935am departure which says its in the stages of boarding. I whatsapp'ed her to get her skates on to the plane, as they thought it was a 10am departure.

BTW she just wanted to say that her FRA-ICN flight in OZ F was flawless once again and that she was not looking forward to this TG J sector.

Little does she know that we are likely going to slum it in J thanks to USDM on our next european visit next year

I hope she made it too!

Funny, my girlfriend said the same thing before the same flight. We had just done FRA-ICN LH F and after the TG J we were going on TG F BKK-SYD.

I now have instructions to only book F when useing USDM... as it's just not the same...

What have I done.
