Several years ago (well, 14, if you must know), I lost a ticket flying to
California on United Airlines--when they took my luggage tickets at the exit
they took my ticket folder with them.  They issued a replacement ticket at no
charge, and told me that if my original was used within six months, they would
bill me for it.

This was my first experience flying.  I was a college student with no credit
cards and no checking account, and was quite relieved that they would issue a
replacement on my word.  There was no charge then, but $20 isn't too bad when
you consider the cost of tickets.  I suspect that smaller airlines may have
less generous policies, since they can less easily afford the loss if some one
does falsely get a replacement, use both tickets, and then skip out on the
payment.
