How do you sell a flight you cannot use?

Question

I am currently studying abroad and had a travel break in my program. Something came up and I had to return home and now I have two flights that are scheduled for this coming week that are non-refundable and non-transferable. It was suggested to me that I sell them but I have no idea how to go about doing this. Does anyone know of some site that I may be able to use in order to sell these flights?

One of the flights would be a last minute flight from Milan to Paris on April 5th, and the other is from Paris to Copenhagen on April 10th.

When I spoke to the airline they told me that an option was to sell it to someone else and have the name on it changed, I just do not know how to go about selling it as I do not know anyone personally to sell it to and cannot find a venue for it online.

Answer 1

maybe www.craigslist.org

Answer 2

You can't do that. If the ticket is not transferrable, that means you can't change the name on it--- anyone you sell it to must have exactly the same name as you. You can call the airline and cancel the tickets though--- usually you pay a $100 fee for this and you don't get a refund but you can at least use the remaining value of the tickets for future flights.

Answer 3

i don't think it's possible anymore with all the new regulations, and you not being able to change the name on the account--however, you might call them and ask 1) if you can change the name, should you find an alternate passenger and 2) if you can delay and/or change the dates and/or get a credit for future travel in some way. at least call them and ask them how you might salvage some of your money.

Answer 4

Dcgirl is correct you can't sell them. Nontransferable means you cant change the name on the ticket or transfer the ticket to someone else.
