Boy, that was like pulling teeth.
"There's no earlier flight"
"How about 9035/8717"
"There's no availability"
"It's showing wide open on United.com - selling down to W"
"We're going to have to charge you more to change your ticket"
"Why? I was supposed to leave today and you canceled the flight; I'm just trying to get where I am going as quickly as possible."
"This will take a supervisor"
"Then let's get one"
The banging sound you hear is my head against the wall.
I still have no idea why there was so much resistance to pushing this ticket to LH. Don't they share revenue?
