A quick update. Chair has been fixed for quite some time now. I got the bill for that this week, so on Thuesday I mailed all the info to my contact with CO AMS. Today she called to inform me it all had arrived. This monday they will be paying the bill, going directly through the maintanence company I use so I don't have to deal with anything anymore. Turns out they already contacted the company for some missing info on the bill, thus 'delaying' the payment. Talk about quick.

My contact knew I was planning on another MCO trip for 2010. After looking at fares, for a second or 2 I was contemplating perhaps not flying CO. A difference of €200,- isn't a small difference when on a fixed income. Quickly decided that the piece of mind and not having to fly on a codeshare flightnumber of an airline I've got a very bad experience with (another airline will do the flight) was worth the extra money. Sure enough, the contact at CO offered to help out when I would be booking. Well, I already had booked. CO again it is.

So, contact is now on the ball with the new reservation. Doesn't like the type of aircraft I'm booked on, slightly higher risk of damage. They're going to stay on top of things. It's still months prior to the flight and it still can chance type of aircrafts. If they do chance back to their usual type on that itinerary; great! If not, they are probably going to chance me another, more expensive- itinerary. Also a good connection, but a different type of aircraft with a lower risk of damage. All at no cost to me.

Reinforces the feeling of making the right move of rebooking them again.
