Come on. You made multiple mistakes here, and even with the birth
certificate problem, it shouldn't have cost anywhere cloae to $1200
additional per person.
But, I guess you are right, and everyone else that posted a followup to
your post is wrong. You bought discounted non refundable tickets and
expected leniency from the airline due to your error. It was not like US
could sell the seats at the last minute to someone else.

When they denied us boarding, US Airways opened four seats on a
round-trip consisting of two flights each way, more than two hours
before the outgoing departure. *Any* seats vacated by us that were
filled by US Airways on any leg amounted to free money for the
airline. I'm sure the airline profited handsomely from our pre-paid,
vacant seats.

I think the chance that they filled the outbound seats is pretty close to
zero. Nobody stands by for a dawn flight from Texas to Jamaica.

Now, how many people decide to fly to Jamaica 2 hours before departure?
Especially on a morning flight? Even if they sold them, the point is you
bought restricted tickets. If you want the ability to overcome mistakes
and other problems and want changeable tickets, then buy changeable tickets.

Yes they do.. That would be the people who forgot the travel documents
for the flight the night before.

Only if they were used.
