As Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching, I have had to re-evaluate travel plans. Many, many months ago, I booked a ticket on US Airway to go back to Washington and see my husband and our friends. But since I am now getting divorced, and "our" friends have now become HIS friends, the point of the trip seems moot.
I used my well-earned miles to book said ticket. I've endured baggage fees, invasive searches (oh, I have!), bad food, middle seats, delays, re-directs, rude services, cramped knees, idiots reclining their seats into my lap like a barcalounger.... My travel experiences with this airline have -- each and every time -- absolutely sucked. (Why do I continue to fly with this subpar company? Because they are the cheapest, duh. Stop asking stupid questions.)
So when I called to cancel my ticket and redeposit my well-earned miles, imagine my flaming anger when I was charged $150 in fees for the change. Even when -- and this is the real kicker -- my original flight had been rescheduled and yet another layover was added to my return. When I asked if the fee could be waived in lieu of this departure from my original itinerary, I was given a polite "Fuck you very much" and asked for a credit card number.
This situation is much like being invited to dinner and then asked to do the dishes. But to have a ticket changed and then to pay a fee...it's more like being invited to dinner and asked to blow the chef. And US Air, I would really like to bite your dick right now....I really, really would.
