Anyone else getting screwed by deltas constant itinerary changes? Have three trips booked with them this summer that have all been negatively impacted by schedule and equipment changes. Direct flights turned into long layovers, unavoidable connecting red eye I booked with a delta one upgrade on the overnight leg getting a schedule and equipment change with only comfort available on red eye.

Figure out what you want (flights, airline) and call them and ask them to move you to it. If your persistent and have status, they’re likely to be quite flexible, including moving you to a different flight or day that would now be more expensive or moving you to a different airline without charge.

Have tried that once but didn’t get anywhere, may just been a bad rep I talked to. I’m platinum but didn’t get any sympathy or concessions - prices are now 2x what they were when we booked and the rep basically told me she couldn’t do anything and that I should be thankful I got a good deal.

AMA: International Travel (US to Europe) During Coronavirus! I found very little info on this topic before my trip and had a bunch of questions which I wish someone could have helped with. Now, a friend and I both traveled US to Europe in the last week, different routes, in Econ/Biz. For anyone else looking to do the same, I’m happy to answer anything about the process - check in, flights, mask usage, security, visa checks, airports, social distancing, etc.

My partner and I are in the process of buying a PHEV that qualifies for the full non-refundable federal tax credit. We will both owe taxes in excess of the current $7,500 cap (will see if that increases with the new budget bill). If we both own the car (i.e. both names on the title), how do we manage filing for the tax credit when filing separately? Do we just pick one of us to file? Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?
