Sigh, venting here while on a 45 min hold. I had a lovely non stop flight from Austin TX to John Wayne airport, 3 hr flight , leaving at 9:30, arriving at 10:25 ( looks weird, but changing time zones)
Originally, only me and oldest granddaughter were going, and I made our reservations. Then later, my other two granddaughters joined the party, so I made their reservation on the same flight and had to do that on the phone, as they are minors and couldn't have their own reservation. But they were able to link reservations.
Now tonight I get an email, say my lovely non stop has been changed to a 1 stop, and total flight time is now over 6 hrs, including layover and it now leaves at 5:55 am! Sure I can get 3 kids out of bed and to the airport by 5 am, and also made a plane change!!!!!!!!!
So I go online to check for something else, and they have gotten rid of all morning arriving non stops. And nothing any better at long beach either.
So I go online via the link to change to a one stop through Vegas that leaves at a more reasonable time, although with a 50 min layover that I hope doesn't bite me in the butt. So I go to my other confirmation for my second 2 granddaughters, and they say because they are linked to a changed reservation, I have to call. Can't make the change online.
Still on hold.....it was going to be so easy. Get on one plane, not have to worry about delays or missed connections, get in early, get to the hotel, relax by the pool.
