Yeah, and considering this wasn’t online, you have to book via phone, hard for them to claim it’s an error fare.
I’ve just worked out they didn’t charge the Y points, they charged J points for a shorter distance.
Genuinely not aware until today. I don’t use my VA points often and when I do it’s with foreign carriers and it’s hard to keep up with their different points tables.
The first flight is tonight, but that one is fine (it’s the onwards flight from HNL that’s the issue). I can check in for both in about 90 mins which I might do just to test the system.
I’ve just seen AA has availability in J on AKL-LAX today with QFF, if I could cancel both VA bookings I would just switch but I guarantee they’ll say I can’t as the flight is within 24 hours. Shame that isn’t a two way rule!
I will pay if it comes down to it unless I could use the AA option but even then I would need to be booking that in the next hour.
