Change of Flights Cost More than Flights
I had a flight from JFK to LAX and then from LAX to Santa Barbara. The lay over was just over 4 hours which sucked. So I looked online and there was a 2 hour earlier flight from LAX to SB with 5 seats open on that flight and 4 open on my flight. Each seat cost $249. So I called and for me to change they said it would cost me $475!!!!!!! I told the agent they must be insane to think I would pay that. They said the additional cost was because they had to cancel my ticket and re-ticket and that's where the costs incurred. I told him I could just buy the $249 ticket and save over $250 but he couldn't understand that. Apparently they can't just say "sure, go ahead and get on that flight. There are plenty of seats."
............I waited the extra two hours.
