MrBrant 0 #1 February 6, 2007 so - I need ideas: How do I convince my company to pay the $120 "change" fee that Northworst charges? It would seem that some extremely friendly Atlanta folk are having a boogie this weekend - but I'm scheduled to fly back to winnipeg on Thrusday . Maybe I should just not show up to the airport, then later claim that I was stuck in traffic for 3 days other ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tetra316 0 #3 February 6, 2007 Just pay it yourself and go! I've been known to do that on occasion when I was working. It's better than having to pay for the entire ticket to get there in the first place. Although airlines suck in general for this policy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I think Atlanta's the only city I've driven in, and come to a complete stop on a 14 lane highway! (daily!) I mean - how the hell do you even stop a 14 lane highway???

MrBrant 0 #5 February 6, 2007 QuoteIt's better than having to pay for the entire ticket to get there in the first place. Although airlines suck in general for this policy That's very true. (although not ideal ) I agree about the policy - as long as it's not within 24 hours or something. I mean, it's not like you won't be flying with them on the later flight! a-holes.

NWFlyer 2 #7 February 6, 2007 Come up with some legitimate business reason you need to be there on Friday... then just stay the weekend. Or just expense it and don't say anything."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrBrant 0 #8 February 6, 2007 that would be ideal, but my flight's are booked though the company travel agent - not on my CC. unfortunatly. oh well. maybe i'll "be ill" for today and tomorrow, and need the extra days to finish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, say the time of the meeting was changed. Unless, of course, they can check on that. Do you have a good rapport with the people you're meeting with? Ask them to change the meeting time to accommodate your extended weekend! Or just suck it up and pay $120 to get back to Winterpeg after you have some fun!

They would give me a credit for this flight (minus the $120 fee, of course) but it would only be valid for a trip from Atlanta to Winnipeg. fuckers. So, I just booked on another carrier for a whopping $20 more than NW's change fee. I think I know who I'm not flying with again next time.... Oh well - See some of you's at Tha Farm this weekend!!!! I'm looking forward to it. Maybe the winds won't be as high this weekend... I don't think I've ever flown backwards on jump-run before.... That reminds me - I need to pick up some more rum!
