Hi, just wanna know if there's any charges by AA (i.e.penalty. fee) for "no-show"....
Example: i book three tickets as a group but come to the actual date only myself can make it...would i be penalized for those two who's not coming...

This kind of situation happen to me last few months while travelling with another local airlines...We book and paid 3 return tickets (KL-Sandakan), but come to actual date one of my friend couldnt fly with us...during check-in, the counter staff told us that we need to inform them earlier in case of no show...otherwise we'll be penalised...i said whatta heck, got such thing arrr??? we already paid & summore not asking for refund ... ...luckly it's on the company, so i just said "whatteve la".....

That's exactly what the M*S counter staff told me...At that time i was worried she doesnt allow me to board until we settle the charges but then she told me the charges will be billed to the payer (in my case the company) ....i bet she doesnt know what she saying...
Anyway already follow-up with my account staff, no debit note or additional invoice received from M*S with regard that particular trip...

Thanks for the feedback

i couldnt found any zero fare tickets ...Perhaps i misunderstood...
FREE SEATS means either :
A) u can pick your seat number/location for free instead of paying RM5... OR
B) free seating for all (like it used to be)

In case u just overlook, u still can buy/upgrade the baggage allowance eventhough u already check-in...
just amend it through MANAGE MY BOOKING and then reprint the amended boarding pass...

Otherwise u can just buy at the counter before boarding..

My true experience...changed 6 hours before flight eventhough already web check-in...
u can try by yourself, just log in and u can still modify your in flight service....

But its from my experience la...(during last raya return flights and coming 26th flight)...
i usually travel with ma wife & kid and flying frequently KL-KK....So being cheapsket, ill strategies my booking like these :

Whenever there is cheap tickets, i just bought and pay the tickets without all other optional services (i.e. advance seat, baggage, meals)...
So if for some reason we couldnt fly on the booked date, i dont lose too much money to forgo the tickets....
Only if confirm, then i will add baggage, meals and advance seat (if necessary)....NOTE:for meal you need to book 48 hours before flight...

I also web check-in immediately after paid the ticket (previously 7 days before flight date) without any in-flight service....Why???
Coz when check-in early, there is high tendency you will be seated next to each other (if you travel more than one person in the same itinerary)....
This kinda necessary when u travel with family & kids... so i will save money for advance seat...
Otherwise your seats will be scattered around (system auto allocate)....

If after self check-in i change/upgrade any in-flight service, i just reprint the boarding pass accordingly....
