I have a return Sydney to Perth flight in a few months i can't use anymore.
Was wondering whether anyone has been brave enough to sell, buy or use a domestic flight in someone else's name? What was your experience?
It's a tiger flight so name changes cost $4 trillion dollars and aren't worth it.
90% of me knows i should just forfeit the ticket but the OBer in me can't help but wonder.
I've illegally used one I got for free. They do (rarely) have random inspections at times from what I've read so it can be stressful if you're not a gambler or career criminal (I'm not, sadly). I'm going to sleep now but unless rules have changed the ticket is pretty much now worthless by design.
We've had a discussion on OzBargain in the past about a fairer system to balance scalping vs airline exploitation but I don't remember the conclusion.
I'd probably happily buy a (domestic) ticket in someone's elses name if it suited me and was cheap! I've never seen them check.
I gave a friend my ff card which they used to check in at self service. Was not checked by airline staff. So yes its possible just dont get caught
Used a number of times. Also gave one with my name on it to someone once.
I've never sold one simply because there is a chance that they wont get on the plane.. Its also illegal to fly under a false name.
"sell it" cheap with payment due after the flight.
Heavily relies on honesty from the recipient of course, but its the only way everyone wins.
When I've used Jetstar I don't think they even checked if I'm the person on the ticket.
