I had to rebook my flight on Wednesday to the same time on Thursday, and had to be waitlisted on the desired flight, while confirmed on the flight beforehand.
Completely forgot about the flight being waitlisted only to be told that I was actually booked on the flight that left an hour beforehand. Having said that though, the QC staff member managed to get me a seat on the flight that I wanted.
Begs the question that if there were seats available on the waitlisted flight, why I was still booked on the earlier flight. It's possible that the seats became available *after* my confirmed flight had departed.
The real reason why I'm posting is to question what happens to FF points (and more importantly, SC) if you miss your flight? You'd have thought that if the airline had kept the fare paid, irrespective of whether the flight was taken, the FF points and SC should be credited. Should I still be eligible for FF/SC if they had to squeeze me on to another flight (given that it was my fault (allegedly)? Why doesn't it appear automatically on my flight history (given that my boarding pass has my QFF number on it!)?
Anyone have this experience?
