learned my lesson with this outfit last year:
* waited too late to get a decent advance/cheap tkt to HNL, so thought i'd try ATA(HA!)
* on outbound, got to hear the speil about anything you touch, you just bought, cuz nuttin's free on this plane.
* return, camped out at the airport cuz of 'delay'. Turns out a mechanical of some sort, ATA's flying in a plane from INDIANAPOLIS, so no way that plane's getting there quickly.
* conveniently, flight is scheduled out with a delay of 3:56 minutes, so'z to keep it under the magical four hour delay.
* got into my LAX hotel room at 2:00am LAX time, -not- a happy camper.
First/last time I mess with that outfit, i'll either buy further ahead next time or just suck it up and pay more for a last minute fare.
