Poor guy. Feel for the folks that don't travel much

To top it off the gate agent told him he just needed to run, because apparently she had no way of contacting the folks at the other gate. Seemed weird to me, but I guess because it's different airlines

I fly southwest and it's an easy mistake to make. They would avoid this if they did XYZ instead of ABC.

Does anyone have a preferred car service company? I am looking for a service that can consistently provide traveler alerts such as when car has arrived, passenger is on board, trip competed, etc. across US cities. I have found a company that will do this when I book travel in NYC, but when my Professionals arrive in their destination cities the affiliates do not offer this same feature. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Absolutely. Businesses can be ethical by treating people the way they’d want to be treated. 3 ways Airbnb can do this: Aggressively fight fraudulent listers, let Airbnb members control their data (allow data requests/permissioning/deletion from any state or country), and oh - make it easy for people to get their money back if their travel was affected by covid-19. How not to be ethical: marketing ethics vs living them.

They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
