- One having their flight cancelled while awaiting boarding and having to rebook on WN
All eventually got (most of) their rebooking fares refunded, but the last one took almost 9 months and only after getting the DOT involved. And all of them called on me, Mr. FF, to help bail them out of their situations, get them on alternate flights, and then navigate the refund process. Ain't family great?
Wow. I always book my backup on WN when I book Frontier, Spirit, or Allegiant I save a lot of money on confirmed trips this way, and haven't actually been bitten. I'm having a really hard time understanding how someone who doesn't fly frequently can possibly handle the stress after it's gone wrong for them in the past. I guess they didn't stress, they just hand it off to you =/
