I find it incredibly hard to believe I booked the flights on the wrong days as I'm fairly anal about checking and re-checking all aspects of every flight I book.

2 questions:

1. Is there any possible way this was a website/software glitch that resulted in the wrong dates for the flights?

2. Does it even pay to see if FL will do anything to accommodate me in any manner?

This reminds me of a mistake I made with online booking on WN once..I meant to book PHX-TUL on Oct 15, and OKC-PHX on Oct 20..but ended up booking BOTH flights on OCT 15, the OKC-PHX one hours before the PHX-TUL one. My mouse finger must have slipped! This seems to be a common error with online interfaces...this, and the pop up calendar we forget to move into the next month if the 1st occours between departure and arrival.
