Does the refunded amount match what it would cost to obtain a replacement ticket for your intended dates of travel (i.e., the position you were in when you made the original contract)?

The refunded amount is ~$500 or so, but the amount he's suing for is the cost of a replacement ticket, ~$2500 or $3000

Judging by that it's a wash. The real questions center around what time of day you will be arriving and how you plan to get to your hotel.

True. I should have shut my mouth and voted for LGA if for nothing else an easier EUA.

They reset to pre-original contract, not the position once the contract is agreed to. Doesn't make much sense to me, but apparently that is the way the system works. I'd have to go to real court for real enforcement of the contract.

Hmmm. If New York is anything like Texas, an appeal from a small-claims decision results in trial de novo (a whole new trial, from scratch, not an appeal) in superior court. Dunno if you want to go that route (filing fees, lengthy process involving discovery, etc.). Is it worth your :rolleyes:?

Alternatively, rather than waiting for an inevitable adverse decision in small-claims, you could take a voluntary non-suit, without prejudice to refiling in superior court (i.e., abandon the present action and go to a court where you can seek a measure of damages that makes you whole, rather than wasting this court's time).

In that case you'll likely be wanting a taxi from LGA upon arrival. That'll be faster/cheaper than one from EWR.

Got my wedding cake from the Cake Boss long before they were on TV. It was a good cake, actually. :-:

We didn't pick the joint ourselves, however, but the restaurant we held the reception at used them as a supplier for the 'included' cake.

In that case, it's take the voucher and run, IMHO.

Cake Boss Elite, sounds like something that could go under Programs in your profile.

Looks like IAH-FRA will move to a 777 over the summer, shortly after EWR-FRA. I'm sure it's contingent on CO actually getting the two new planes delivered.

I'm going to accept the offer. Not sure it is a perfect deal but I'm probably going to lose otherwise.

They've assured me that the MCOs are stackable and can be used on EC so I'll book a trip to Paris at some point and be done with it. Better than getting shut out completely.

This was the option that the Clerk presented.

The attorney made a call and now is back with some other questions for the BA lady. I'm not sure what is happening with that.

Smart move, IMHO. You could likely pursue your claim in superior court with a decent chance of success, but it would be a royal PITA, and probably not worth the time/effort.

From what I recall, in past summers we had 777s doing AMS/CDG for the additional lift. So, it could be a shift in those airframes.

It will be nice to see what they do with the birds and what we may see as far as new routes.

I think there's a chance we may see some pac-rim growth, EWR-ICN comes to mind and if HND opens up, EWR-HND.

Agreed, and $600 in TCs isn't a bad return for your time. ;)

They are due to be delivered in late March or April. I can't recall exactly.
