When I lost a ticket, Eastern charged me $20 and said that if the
old (lost) ticket was used, I'd be billed for the new one too.  They said
they could not guarantee that they would notice if someone tried to
use the lost ticket.  I had no choice but to go along; if someone
had subsequently used the lost ticket I would have sued them on the
grounds that they should have caught them.  (Then again, I can see
how that's difficult, especially since another airline could accept
an Eastern ticket with the presumption that Eastern will pay them.)

The story had a happy ending, since a week after the flight, a
person I was flying with discovered that she had had my ticket all
along.
