Any bets on when change fees come back? American just called to “confirm” my family flight to FL for spring break which I booked a year ago. I asked why she was calling and the agent admitted the flight was oversold by 22 seats. Buckle up people - travel is coming back!

The first airline to reinstate change fees will get such a bad PR blow.

Wow 22 seats. The flight might have been originally scheduled on a 737/A319 or similar size plane and was switched to an E-Jet when demand dropped last year.

United already said change fees are gone “forever”, hopefully they are the trendsetter.

I mean... this is the company who beat an old man because he wouldn’t get off a plane... and the ceo supported it....

My money is on never. I don't see how an airline can justify making people who may be sick choose between traveling while contagious and paying exorbitant fees. But maybe I'm an optimist 😏

I never understood change fees for flight tickets. Hers why;

I can buy a $1000 mattress, have it shipped across the US (probs costs a lot), use it for 100 days and then decide I dont want it anymore for a full refund.

This is the level of customer service Gen Z and Y expect. Why cant you return a ticket that you bought and haven’t used any service yet.

Also, if you change the flight, it typically goes up in price anyway by selecting a higher fare!

There will likely have to be some rules around it, like its free until 72 hours before the flight or something to help them plan

I have a boss from hell. She’s the GM of my hotel and she is a mean girl that never grew out of highschool. She loves gossip. She will trash talk her employees with other employees and once her toxic garbage starts to leak amongst us peons she will send a group text telling us all to stop spreading rumors and to stop being bullies like she isn’t the mean kid with a magnifying glass torturing ants for no reason. I want to stand up but I’ve seen her retaliate on people who have tried to. Help.

He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?
