All,
With the recent changes to check-in times has anyone experienced being refused check in, even when being inisde the cut-off time?
I have had 2 instances in the last few weeks, where I have arrived at MEL and was HLO, I was booked on a later flight, but an earlier flight was leaving in 25-30 mins, on fully flex flights, to be told on the first instance that 'I was too late', I pointed out that I was WP and that the cut off was 20 mins (by the clock on the flight board), the check in lady just shrugged her shoulders.
Second instance, a similar story, but also had an argument about the actual time, the check in lady insisting that the actual time was 10 minutes later than it actually was, until i pointed the actual time on 3 clocks within sight. I asked her to confirm the policy and she said, yes 20 minutes, she called the gate, and they said no, to which she had no explanation - 'if they say no its no'
On both occasions I had colleagues on the flights I was trying to get on, who confirmed that flights were not full......
Confused.
