Good for you. And sorry for offering the unasked-for advice. I realized after I posted that I might have overstepped -- if so, I apologize.

Not at all! I appreciate the different point of view, trust me. I'm sure I'm part of the problem.

My horoscope on FB keeps telling me I need a vacation.

While I was looking through my spam folder on Monday night, I saw an email from Frontier Airlines saying it was okay to check in for my trip.

So I went to their website to check it out. Apparently I had purchased tickets for Batty, Magickmaker, and me to go to Chicago for a week, leaving yesterday.

I dimly recall pursuing a cheap deal on Frontier when they started service out of Dulles, but once I saw all their incidental charges, I thought I had bailed before the final payment screen. Au contraire, mon amie -- apparently I'd actually bought the tickets.

Anyway, I canceled them since neither Magickmaker nor I had vacation time available. Of course they were nonrefundable, so I think I'll get about $20 back.

Boo. I would not be able to stop cringing.

Commiserations Ali. I had an email from an airline the other day saying my tickets were ready which I deleted thinking it might do horrible things to my computer if I opened it. I definitely have not booked plane tickets to anywhere. No time for a holiday at the moment.

I only paid $114 for all three of us -- it was a *really* good deal on the tickets.

So I'm not out a ton of money. Although it's not like I couldn't use a spare hundred bucks. Ah well.

So I learned an important lesson today: never take hot sauce suggestions from the employees at Firehouse Subs.
It didn't seem very hot going in, but I definitely felt a "disturbance in the Force" this morning.

While there's a point at which I don't enjoy hot sauce because it's too hot, I don't really have a problem with the really hot stuff, either in our out...

My wife however, doesn't do so well with it, and usually resorts to searching out old tubes of Desitin from when our daughter was still wearing diapers.

For part of it, yeah. I was unclear from the e-mail they sent me how much I'm getting back -- either they're refunding me $90 or keeping $90 and refunding the balance. Given that it's an airline, I'm betting on the latter.

ok I got all ready to reply to Ms. Sorus and poooof .........gone.

A little of my own medicine

Sorry. I figure people are tired of that particular rant.

I need a new job.

Post by **Linna Heartbooger** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 9:14 pm

poster's regret?

Umm, I have a question...
How on earth do people find tickets for such a great price?!?
Is it through something special like where you work or because of flying you've done before?
...or is there like an online site that can be even more awesome than Priceline used to be?

Okay I personally was not tired of your rants. I wanted to suggest you buy a ticket to NYC at the end of February. I'm an excellent host........and excellent driver... (from Rain Man).

That sounds awesome, but the whole 'making plans' thing isn't advisable for me right now. We'll see...

Post by **aliantha** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 2:40 am

Linna, I saw the thing about the Frontier tickets in the local paper. It was truly a special local deal.

Travelocity used to have an e-mail alert service where they'd let you know if a ticket price along a certain route dropped below a threshold you set. I don't know whether they still have it. I know I haven't gotten an e-mail from them about it in a long time, so maybe they quit doing it.
