We went on a well deserved trip for a few days to New Mexico. Booked on U.S. Air cancelled tickets from Feb. due to a sudden death in the family. Was slammed with a hefty $200 penalty for cancelling in Feb. and another $300 for changing, within an hour of booking the second flight to a later flight. OK, we are in a hole for $500. The tickets originally were $350 to Miami, but now to New Mexico from Las Vegas, NV are now $420. See where this is going? So we are now $620 in the hole. The flight is delayed 1 hour and we sit on this hot plane without even leaving Vegas. On the return, we sit on the runway for 1.5 hours and miss a connecting flight. U.S. Air offers to put us up in a hotel, but only pay 1/2 the hotel and we have to rebook for the next evening. But, we have to work next day. Too bad, they say, so sad, they say. OK, where is the luggage. Don't know, they say, hang around for about 2 hours to find out. Two hours later, after having a hissy fit, we are informed that luggage is in Las Vegas. Wow! We can't get there until next night, but all our stuff is there already. We rent a car and drive through a snow storm from Hades. We couldn't see and trucks were flying around us on frozen slippery roads. We finally found a motel and rested for about 4 hours and began the trip home. We were met with heavy rains in Vegas and new the God's Must Be Anry. Never again until Hades freezes over do we go on U.S. Air.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
