[Just venting] I booked a multi-city itinerary for about $2k (personal travel). Last week, I had to change the date of the first leg by a few days for a work reason, so I moved myself to premium plus and didn’t really mind that the fare difference was another $2k (all within policy). Now the work thing changed again and United is saying it will cost almost $3k in fare difference to revert to my original itinerary. Airfare is SUCH a joke!! And now I’ve been on hold with the 1K line for 1.5hrs 😩

Well, your commitment to sacrifice your personal travel for work is great. Airlines are doing the same. You both make a great corporate team in maximizing revenue for your firms.
