Tomorrows begins the adventure of my biggest aviation score ever.

About a year ago I found a mistake price fare for round trip tickets on a Delta flight from Phoenix to St. Martin (SXM). I bought three tickets. Due to a bunch of cancelled flights and route changes and date changes I sent an email to the CEO of Delta. I explained what a cluster***k it was. He ended up making some changes and upgrading us to First Class.

I am now leaving from Las Vegas instead of Phoenix and we have first class seats on all four legs. We also have access to the Delta SkyClub during our layovers.

Not a bad score for $30 a ticket for 10 days in the Caribbean.


Wow that’s impressive. One could live like a king with deals like that.

I just got an email that both of my flights in a few weeks have been rescheduled. I know this happens occassionaly, but I am having bad luck. I would guess that 8 of my last 10 flights have been changed.

This particular flight is cross country and the airline cancelled my flight and booked me on one 23 hours later. Who in the world has 23 hours of flexibility in their schedule? Fortunately my return flight only changed by 2.5 hours.

You are eligible for a refund if you decline the 23 hours later protection.
I see airline business is picking up because I've had friends called back to work at GBT

The guy sounds like he is respected, it is just whether anyone is willing to commit millions of dollars to find the answer.
