Continental sold you a ticket to LAX. All they have to do is get you = there. They have absolutely no liability for anything else. If they rebook you = on American, then American has the liability once Continental endorses the ticket. But American would still only have to get you to LAX. This has happened to our clients on numerous occasions and is one of the reasons = why code shares and alliances are useful for more than just shared frequent flyer credits.=20 Rebecca Abbott TQ3 Travel Solutions -----Original Message----- From: The Airline List [mailto:AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dennis W Zeuch Sent: Friday, September 12, 2003 6:10 PM To: AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: thru tkts If you bought a thru tkt from Continental routed say CLE LAX on CO and = LAX SYD on QF.
