Airline Scams
|
|||
|
|
---------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1) When you buy your tickets, tell you travel agent that your kids love to
|
|||
|
|
play "travel", so could she please leave the voided travel coupons in with your
|
|||
|
|
ticket so you can give them to them. (this is the copy of the ticket that is
|
|||
|
|
included in the carbons looks just like a ticket, except it has void printed
|
|||
|
|
where the "destination" appears.) then when you check in at the airplane, give
|
|||
|
|
them the voided portion . (make sure you have the good one in case they don't
|
|||
|
|
take it!) about 2 out of 5 agents just glance at the flight number and the date
|
|||
|
|
and hand you a boarding pass. when your trip is over, you cash your real
|
|||
|
|
ticket back in at your travel agency and tell them that you changed plans.
|
|||
|
|
(don't do this more than once at the same travel agency though!)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2) Another fun game is the "lost baggage" scam. when you check your bags in,
|
|||
|
|
make sure you include one bag that is a "carry-on" size bag. when you arrive
|
|||
|
|
at the baggage terminal, you get all your bags and then tear off (discretly!)
|
|||
|
|
the tag for the carry-on-sized bag. then you march over to the airline and
|
|||
|
|
tell them that one of your bags did not arrive. they will ask to see your
|
|||
|
|
claim stub and your ticket. then you will have to describe the contents and
|
|||
|
|
the style of bag. (make sure you pick out an *expensive* bag - all leather or
|
|||
|
|
a "hartman" type bag.) the contents should be a few silk ties, a $400 suit, a
|
|||
|
|
hewlett packard calculator, an electric razor, a few computer program disks, an
|
|||
|
|
assortment of irreplaceable papers, etc. your bags are insured for $1,250 per
|
|||
|
|
trip, so with a little creative paperwork, you can make $5-600 on a trip. once
|
|||
|
|
again, the insurance industry is involved, so always do this under a different
|
|||
|
|
name and address each time. *never* use a different name than appears on your
|
|||
|
|
ticket...
