Our direct flight home from Miami to Toronto at the end of our March break cruise was cancelled and we were rebooked the same flight for the next day.
I decided to lean into it - I had already planned a 2 day buffer so now we have three days in Miami. So booked a great airbnb with beach access and a pool. And there will be zero stress over Covid tests for the flight home.
I realize this would not be as easy a solution for those with less workplace flexibility or on tight budgets. And I am hoping this is the last major change. Time of day I can deal with, but moving me to a whole different day has real planning implications.
I booked with WJ for February for the Princess half marathon. Flying in Friday and out Monday... we were on a 8:00pm flight that was canceled and rebooked for the 1:50pm flight. That is 6hrs less time in Disney on an already short trip

I think they underestimate how their business motives are ticking people off. NO...I will not accept the credit...I WANT A REFUND!!!The agent said she was not authorized to give refunds and if I wanted I could speak to a supervisor but the wait was at least 85 minutes. I accepted the challenge! I was on the phone waiting for 3.5 hours for the supervisor that never came. The agent finally gave in and gave me a refund. She would come back on the phone every 30 minutes or so asking me if I still wanted to hold. I said that I was this far in and I’m waiting for a supervisor. I think she thought that I would give in and accept a refund to a travel bank.
You sound a lot like me!I think they underestimate how their business motives are ticking people off. NO...I will not accept the credit...I WANT A REFUND!!!
As a capricorn, I also would have sat on the line until I got my refund. When my stubborness kicks in watch out Ask dh and kids what happens
Edited to add....I'm glad you got the refund! We shouldn't have to dish out that money then get a credit!!!!!!
It's worth asking but if it were me, I'd rather find a flight I liked better and call requesting the change. Do your own research on the website in advance so you are telling them, not asking them, about alternatives.Omg! They switched our flight home without a heads up?! Supposed to come home may 7 but they now have us leaving may 6 and and overnight in Toronto?! Omg. Just happened to check the app and saw this. This is awful news.
does anyone have experience with them changing it to an overnight? Like we would get to Toronto at 9pm and leave at noon the next day. Would we have luck at least getting an airport hotel voucher for a free night stay? Uggh.
They totally cancelled the one flight, onl alternative that whole week now is an overnight in Toronto I guess since a slower time? If we were going for Easter those flights are still good. Argh! Maybe if anything we can leave a day earlier now to make up for lost time…It's worth asking but if it were me, I'd rather find a flight I liked better and call requesting the change.
