Afternoon Courtie...how's life treating you this warm spring day??? 84 degrees in beautiful downtown Greenfield!!! I'm not sure it gets any better than this!!!
Looks like about 76 down on the cubicle farm. I'm guessing 60's here, which is fine with me.
I post for all who may be considering an airplane trip a rough transcript of 12 hours preceding our flight home. I've spared you the 2-day marooning in Chicago on the way there.
Mon. Night:
Traveller: Hi, I'd like to confirm that AA flight x is leaving as scheduled tomorrow morning.
Agent: Yes, it is.
Traveller: Thank you. And, oh, by the way, you do have a reservation for "Barnes," correct?
Agent: Uh, says here that you cancelled. (Something about you never informed the airline that you were going to NM by another flight.)
Traveller: Um, no, I stopped by the counter at 3pm Friday to tell them I'm not taking their flight that was 2 days late. I was told I could get another flight and cancel only the trip out when they booked that one. I told the ticket agen that we were still on the trip home.
1h 15m later
Agent: OK, you're on United flight x, which leaves one hour earlier at 7:30am
Traveller: Great, looking forward to it
Next morning, after testing the envelope of a late model Hyundai on the 60 mile drive to the airport.
Traveller: Hi, we're here to check in for United flight x.
Agent: Hmmm. Says here you're on the American flight.
Traveller: Really? I have a confirmation here that they switched the first leg to United.
Agent: No, they switched your second leg to American out of Chicago.
Traveller: Fine. We get home tonight, and we pay no more money. Can you do that?
Agent: Go talk to (AA Agent) Mike, he has your information.
Traveller: OK - see you in 10 minutes when we get shuffled back here.
Agent: Don't worry, you're all set.
shuffle, shuffle, shuffle...
Mike: Hi. Says here you're cancelled on this flight. You're on the United flight.
shuffle, shuffle, shuffle...
Agent: Here are your tickets. Since we've just changed them, you'll have to go through the extra security screening...
