I was supposed to go MCI-SLC-LAX tonight and returning Sunday afternoon for a Wedding returning on the same route. Tonights Flight 1457 MCI-SLC had a mechanical problem and we had to de-board the plane. I couldn't get to LAX tonight and the first one out tomorrow is at 8:30am. I am Gold Medallion. I won't arrive in LAX for the wedding until about 2 hours before the wedding if the flights are on time. I am thinking about not going now. I had to pay for an extra 50 dollar cab ride from MCI to my house b/c nobody could pick me up and will lose one night hotel b/c of cancelling lest than 24 hours in advance. The room is almost 200 dollars. In addition, I rented a Tux that will go unworn for 100+ bucks. The most frustrating thing about all of this is that I will not get the double Base Miles for the flight which may prevent me from earning Gold Medallion again.

Any recommendations here?

Thanks!
