Look, all you can do is ask-- they're already inconveniencing you by extending a long trip by another 3 hours... so maybe they won't upgrade you to first class, but you might get free vouchers for other flights or hotel stays... my friend does this all the time... he says that the first ticket you buy just gets you in the airport, after that you can play lets make a deal. When we flew to Chicago for a hockey game we had an 8:30 am flight out of NY on United, only we made it through security at 6:45am. Well we ended up on a 7:20 am flight with drink vouchers for the plane (don't ask why we were drinking at 7:30 am) and a dinner voucher once we got into Chicago. No arguing, just polite conversation, a little flirting and a letter written after the trip commending the airport personnel.

Being a business traveler and having been stuck on a plane sitting on the ground for over eight hours I have learned when one travels by air one has to resign oneself to many, many circumstances beyond ones control. I suggest you suck it up, deal with it and be thankful you can get from LA to Australia in less than 24 hours (unless of course you know of a way to get there faster?) |

Any one of these would be quicker
Concorde would be quick. But the X-15 travelling at Mach 6 would be the quickest.

Mad Dog,
I'd say pursue it further and emphasize on how much inconvenience you are having with the situation that they are putting you in |

Definitely press the issue. Does another carrier fly the route you are taking? If so, call them and explain your situation. Maybe they can do better.
Call the regional manager. A call is much more personal and forces the CSR to deal with a "live" issue, rather than the print on a piece of paper. Remember, always be polite! Explain that the timing really screws you up, and that the new schedule is not what you paid for. Just keep pressing until you get what you want |

To offer an answer tho, I would guess it would be similar to a verbal conversation: Just because you didn't hear it the first time doesn't mean that you can't ever hear it. Similar conversations will happen over and over again...if you don't want to hear the conversation for the second + time - leave the room.

I was refering to the fact that the same topic was talked about in different posts, back to back to back. You didn't even have to search. They were right there like, the tree was in the way of the freikin forest. Or the water was in the way of the ocean. Oh well.......... back to cross stitching.
