I'm waiting to see if airline people will really have the b*lls to tell a passenger bound for a relative's funeral, "Sorry, you'll have to pay $2000 for a new, full fare ticket to get to your mother's funeral. It's no different than if you had missed a baseball game!"</font>
Been there, done that, and yes they do have the b*lls to tell you that.
The airline was NWA, but luckily I was able to get a flight with Southwest. Although I had to go through each and every security precaution (it was after 9/11). I must have taken off my shoes about a dozen times.
