annuinSo Travelocity called us this morning, or at least their automated system left a message on our answering machine, to tell us that Delta had changed our flight to Vegas. Instead of a direct flight that would leave late Saturday morning and put us in Vegas around 2pm, we now leave several hours later, have a 90 minute stop in Atlanta, and arrive in Vegas around 7pm.
Good thing we didn't book any show tickets for that Saturday night.
Either way, this is a real pain in the ass. Not so much that the flight is later and arrives later, but that we have to go via bloody Atlanta. The only good thing about that detour is that I can scratch off Georgia as a "state I've been to" on that silly travel meme. And the only reason I want to be in Atlanta is to visit PreZ's cousin, not to sit at the sodding airport.
The part that's really annoying is that when we booked the flight, it was only 1/4 full, and we could even specify which exact seats we wanted, down to the row and seat number (the pregnant person would like an aisle seat near the bathroom please!). And then we get shunted off to a different non-direct flight, presumably because those jerk-offs at Delta have managed to put higher-fare paying people in those seats.
PreZ meanwhile is planning on calling either Travelocity or Delta to bitch at them. Here's hoping it'll have some effect.
