anat0l,

I'd say there is a fair chance that someone has lost more BUT aren't about to admit to same

Unless that happens you will be declared the winner (or loser).

You are not alone in being charged a non-show at a hotel for getting the date wrong. I got one date a month out during a 3-month trip that included about 35 different accommodation locations. So I figure that one mistake out of that many bookings was understandable, especially when it covered 4 different months. I can't remember just how much I was billed for the no-show, but think it was likely to be around GBP100 at a time when the A$ was trading around GBP0.40.

I got one.

Flying LHR-SYD on one ticket and needed to connect to MEL. Booked the SYD-MEL flight on the same day as my LHR flight.

The Qantas people were very, very nice and found me seat with no change fee or penalty even though I was a no show from 2 days earlier!

I would be amazed if everyone here didn't have at least 1 story.
