So upon discovering that my travel company booked me on the 835pm flight tomorrow night, instead of the 823pm flight out this evening :mad: , I'm trying to figure out if there is ANY way that I can plead my case at the airport to get on the flight tonight without having to pay the difference in fare + $100 change fee. With the flight being 90% empty will that have any impact on my chances? :confused: Otherwise it looks like I will be spending the night and catching standby on the 735am flight... :(

US will likely attempt to collect the change fee and fare difference, even if your story is a good one. I suggest you first try pleading your case with your travel company, especially if this was their error.

Depends on the agent you get but chances are they it is close to 0%.
