First rule of a no show is to NEVER ever be a no show!
What is a no show?
A no show is someone who does not arrive and checkin for a flight. This is for any flight to any destination. If you do not arrive for your flight you are a no show.
Why is that bad?
Well the airline (most airlines0 have it written into the rules of a ticket that there are no refunds on in the case of a NO show. This means that if you do not pitch for a flight then you will not get any refund on your ticket. There is only one exception in most case and that is Death.
The airlines hold that seat for you when you book a ticket and if you do not show up for a flight then you face the full might of the ticketing laws and will not see any refund. This goes for your departure date/ ticket or your return date/ ticket.
Do not do it ever!
Is there a way around it?
Yes there is call your agent or the airline directly and advise them to remove you off the flight so that you are not a no show. Be aware of when your ticket is booked for and pay special attention to the times of the flight. In some cases even if you advise the airline or agent you could be in possesion of a non refundable ticket, in this case you will not get a refund regardless so be sure you take traffic into account and the final good byes….
While we are on the point of no shows: When you are transiting be sure that you go ahead and check in for your next flight regardless of how long the que is. This will save you getting left behind in a transit point. Be aware when you travel, ignorance is NOT bliss in this case so be aware. Check in for your flights and if there are any problems communicate with the airline or your agent immediately what ever time it is day or night!
