[Fredslist] Urgent - If you're flying this week-end

[Cheri Elferis]

Hello:

I've received a few calls from Gothamites asking for advice on travelling this week-end, so thought I would share this with everyone....

1)Most major airlines - American, United, Delta, US Air, and Jetblue - have already issued re-accommodation procedures. If you are traveling this Friday or Saturday, they will allow you to change your travel date - up until February 12th - WITH NO PENALTY. In most cases, you can only get a REFUND if your flight is cancelled. That's the general rule - there are exceptions. Seats are going to be scarce, so make up your mind to change TODAY - don't wait until tomorrow or Saturday.

1) If you booked your ticket through Expedia, Priceline, Orbitz (shame,shame,shame!) you'll have to call them to have your ticket exchanged. And good luck with that -

2) If you booked your ticket through the airline directly - either on the phone or online - (better!) - call them to have your ticket exchanged, but expect to wait on the phone for at least an hour.

3) If you booked your ticket through me (best!) I will already have advised you of your alternate choices and exchanged your ticket. Because of Protravel's relationship with the airlines, in many cases, neither of us have to sit on the phone for an hour, since we have prior authorization to change.

As always - advice is free!!!

sincerely,
Cheri
