Why should I have to bear a difference that heads to doubling my hotel and flight costs for the two of us from US$500 each to US$800 each - because the airline cant fill enough seats to make the flight it has contracted with me viable. You gamble in the casinos in Macau not on the flights??
The trip is no longer viable to me at that arbitrarily increased rate the day before departure.
