Charge mother for airline award ticket cancellation fee?

I regularly book award tickets for my mother to fly for leisure trips, always in first class. I use my airline miles. Airline rules prohibit selling or bartering miles, so she can't pay me for the ticket.

This time, she decided to cancel the trip that she had booked for Thanksgiving. I was also going to fly with her for Thanksgiving. Rescheduling my ticket was $200 plus extra ticket costs of about $175 more, and I had to pay the airline $150 to get my miles back from her cancelled ticket. So my total costs are $525 since my mother decided to cancel her trip.

Would you ask to at least be paid the $150 airline fee for cancelling her ticket and getting the miles back?

We al have plenty of money, but my parents would charge me for that. I really dislike stinginess though.

What happens if an airplane takes off on the runway without ATC clearance?

Okay, I wonder what would happen if an airplane pilot pulls up the aircraft's throttle and then takes off from the runway without Air Traffic Control clearance. Could the pilot get in trouble? Will the flight attendants be in trouble too? Or will military aircraft be dispatched to shoot down the plane that has taken off from the airport with ATC clearance? I'm not a real pilot, so I don't know much about it, so yeah.

Flying Basic Economy with United and American Airlines?

I booked two round tickets but didn't realize they were basic economy. They will be 4 hour long trips and I was wondering if it was as bad as they say? Or would anyone recommend an upgrade? It's my first time flying and United doesn't allow carry on bag is that bad? American Airlines does allow it.

SEQUENCE OF NAME ON AIRLINE TICKET

My name is John Geo Smith.

My passport Surname Smith
My passport Given Name is John Geo

Is this correct? Why do some people say last name is suppose to be first then first then middle? Such as Smith John Geo.
