Can’t speak for yesterday, but tonight’s cancellation was a mechanical.

Unfortunately getting into Mumbai two days late screws up everything for me. I finally found a redcoat who agreed to get me to BLR instead so I can catch up to my original planned schedule (just missing a city). Note prior to this 3 people (1 gate agent 1 phone 1 skyclub) had tried to help but couldn’t actually figure out how to do it- I expect because my ticket had been reissued with GUCs they couldn’t figure out how to void that and manually do an even exchange because they were insisting inventory not available.

So now I’m going to Seattle, then will fly SEA-AMS-BLR tomorrow. Of course, in the back.

There IS front cabin inventory from LAX, but no way to get to LAX from SLC in time to make it tomorrow.

I still don’t understand how every seat out of SLC is filled and they can’t keep the wide bodies moving internationally in late September. Early august, sure, but what the heck are all these people doing on a Saturday in September?
