There is Another ME

[ECO]

So I wake up this morning and see an e-mail from AA confirming my flight from Chicago to Dallas and back to Chicago later this week. Hmmm, I live close to Boston, how am I going to get to Chicago for my flight? Wait, I have stuff to do this weekend and while I like Texas I don't want to go there this week! So, I check the e-mail addy----yup it's mine......I check the name......yup it's me...........so, did I get high last night (no) and book a trip not knowing where I live?

I ended up checking the credit card # and figured out it was not mine.....so, if I did have a wacky night last night at least I didn't use my own credit card to book a trip that I have no plans of taking!

After calling American, I found out that another dude with my name paid a travel agent in CA for the trip and the travel agent must of used the wrong e-mail addy. Once I gave them the transaction number I was able to ask them where "I" lived and other questions.......I wonder (since they thought I was the other guy) if I could of canceled "my flight" and use the money for another trip to Jamaica

LMOA You called them! I would not called them once i found out it 's not my credit card. Too bad for that person, let him take it up with AA.

Come to think of it, if I was in that position I would want the other me who recieve the confermation to call AA and clear things up. Don't like when i'm being mean.

I was worried that someone somehow opened a credit card using my credit info.....that would be bad!

I just got another e-mail..... should I change his seats?

Har! This reminds me of my first job after graduating from college. Had a low-level, sucky job in the admissions office at UVa in my hometown, and I kept getting messages on my home phone reminding me of presentations I was scheduled to give at the law school there. Apparently, there was a professor or graduate law student with the same name as mine, and I'd get phone messages intended for that guy.

Eco, if you're booked on AA for your April trip to Jamdung, be sure to check in at least 5 bags of luggage. That way, if your flight crashes on landing and the plane breaks into 3 pieces and the airline recompenses passengers $5,000 dollars per bag like they did for flight 331, you could come out at least $25,000 on top...if you survive the crash.

[Wahoo]

I don't know if "recompenses" is a real word, but it came from my gut, and I always trust my gut instincts.

Lol, I sort of forgot all about my opinion of flying with them after I posted in the AA crash thread! $150 for my flight down & the chance to make $$$$ if they crash and pay me for my luggage............

I just posted in another thread about them and allowing two bags for flights to/from Jamaica.... maybe I should edit my post with a disclaimer about them crashing all the time.
