    :D I've got an odd one, I got some airline tickets in the post today for a holiday we booked over a year ago but never paid the balance on becauase we were booked for work. I called to cancel but the travel company said we'd lose the deposit, so I don't think it cancelled properly.

    I was supposed to get a reminder to pay the balance, which I never did obviously so assumed it was cancelled. Hmmmmm what to do :rotfl: turn up to the airport tickets in hand and try for a 90% discount trip to florida?:rotfl:

    Can you have a look online to see ticket reservation? Not sure whether airline might have this facility? surely if your booked in and sent tickets its all ready to go?

    Well, I tried that but the agent has merged so their online service is down. It gets odder though, I'm a cheeky cow, I called them just now to say that they have my name wrong, because I've got married. Fully expecting them to say ooohh yes, you owe us XXXX, but the woman had my booking in front of her, said I would need to pay just £40 and that she would re-issue the tickets to be picked up at the check in desk on the morning of travel. I said, so that's it, we're good to go? She said, yes Mrs Toto have a lovely trip?????

    How odd!
