after a lot of back and forth Alaska said take it or leave it.
My friend is steaming he was separated from his colleague and was offered 1000 ALASKA miles 🙄🤷♂️
Did you tell him to “not to sweat the small stuff”?
Question: I know airlines cancel or reschedule flights all the time. My app pretty much always tells me that changes were made to itinerary ABCDEF when I launch it, and then I can go figure out on my own (after jotting down one or more PNRs) what actually changed.
Can they legally move people from one flight to another when the flight is actually NOT canceled or changed in any way, as it seems to have happened to your friend? Imagine I book a $500 ticket on the first flight of the day; can the airline put me on the less popular and cheaper red eye just because and tell me to “take it or leave it”?
