[quote=Anonymous]PP, they don’t tell you about those tickets because they cost more.  Several years ago, my teen daughter was flying home from a summer program alone.  United canceled her flight and re-booked a bunch of people that day.  When it was her turn, they told her the only flight was the next morning.  They booked her on that and there was a connection and it would take over 12 hours so she would get home the next evening.  I kept finding tickets online and asking why she couldn’t have those and they couldn’t tell me.  The reality is they were more expensive.  They finally gave in and got me a slightly earlier flight.

They left her in the airport with nowhere to go by herself.  She was too young to check into a hotel. Nice, huh?  They said she should just sleep at the airport—by herself at 16.

The next morning , she missed her flight (the one with the connection that was going to take like 12 hours).  Lo and behold, at the gate behind her was a direct flight to our city.  The gate agent switched her.  Seriously?  There was a direct flight all along and they put her on a long flight with a long connection after telling her to sleep in the airport all night?  So ridiculous.  The moral of the story is you have to get online and research.  Don’t just believe them.

Anyway, we worked it out so her program came back and got her (even though it was over and people were headed out).  The next morning, she miss[/quote]
