WTF? That's so annoying. Flying is such a pain in the ass.

Srsly... why would you have the same name as your mum?

Wow, American Airlines fails hardcore.

that suck margareth junior :D

OMFG! why are you going on about her name?? For all you know, it's a family name that was passed down or something. Maybe it was started by her Great Great Great Grandmother or something. We don't know. It's prolly just a legacy name. Get over it ppl!

#26 is right, airlines can be such a pain. I know they were trying to do someone a favour and keep them from accidentally buying two tickets, but before canceling a transaction they should have called to confirm =/ And uh, I know the naming the kid after the parent thing is more common with boys than girls, but seriously? People are making a big deal about it? What is wrong with you folks?

A similar thing happened to me a while ago. My mother, my brother and one of my cousins all have the same last name and first initial M. Some ditz at the airline cancelled two of the tickets, assuming they were erroneous repeat entries. It'd be understandable if it wasn't a family reunion - there were about 40 of us traveling together, all with the same surname. We wound up being stranded in New Zealand for three days before they could rebook us on a flight onwards to our final destination with the rest of the family.

This is the part where you start yelling and demanding crazy things like upgrades to first class, full refunds, or vouchers for a free flight.

Yeah this is probably the first true-sounding and valid FML I've seen in a long time. I can't believe people are calling fake on it. Is it hard to believe that an Airline trying to sell tickets would see a person has bought two, realize that the person will just ask for a refund when she finds out, and thus have taken up a seat that could have been another who-knows-how-much dollars the airline made if they had sold it to someone else? Even if it's fake, at least it's original and not somebody getting rejected by a hot guy/girl in an insulting and unbelievable way.

Of all the names in the world, why choose the same one? You're just asking for problems like this...
