Flightiness
I get to spend another night in Milwaukee! I’d been planning to fly back to Seattle tonight (Friday), and logged on to print my boarding pass last night. My request kept getting rejected, so I looked up my reservation to see if I had the time right (you can’t check in more than 24 hours in advance).
The time was right, all right, but the date of the flight was Friday the 24th, not the 17th. When you make your reservations online, you can pull up a little calendar app to select your date instead of typing it in, and I had apparently clicked the right day, wrong week.
Despite my pleas and general likeability, the agent on the phone could not get me a flight today for less than $550. Best I could do was a 6:24AM flight tomorrow (Saturday!) for the $100 change fee. My client is thrilled that I can stay and work this afternoon, but it puts a bite on my weekend.
I thought about calling Mrs. Perils and telling her, but I figure she’ll read it here, so I won’t bother.
