chris: that's la travel agent, pamela irwin, who's on the american society of travel advisors board, she helped us understand the 47 pages of lufthansa conditions and 24 pages of jargon-laden fare rules we reviewed for the couple's flights. she says arthur and laurie should have called lufthansa and told them they were running late. pamela: you have to advise the airline ahead of time, otherwise you're a no-show. chris: and when you're a no-show, even one minute past your departure time, many airlines cancel the value of your missed flight. for example, lufthansa's terms say, "we have the right to cancel your booking if you fail to arrive at the boarding gate in time." that's what cost the couple $460 each in milan, they y had to b new tickets to frankfurt. chris: so what about the money lufthansa demanded in frankfurt? that's another $277 per person. turns out that's a bit of a repricing penalty, all because the couple didn't fly their flights in order, and that's required in the fine print of the airline's fare rules. irwin told us, "that's actually a common catch of most airline tickets." pamela: if you have to change
