Getting somewhere with Delta
Hi, Thanks for the suggestions. I did write an email and a letter and also contacted Delta reservation sales on the phone. The rep said that since Delta had changed our flights and not us, that we could make a change without incurring that $150 each fee. I'm still convinced that we were "bumped" from our original reservation (Delta says that the flight was completely eliminated but that flight # and itinerary still exists on every other day). Hmmm, seems fishy.
Since this is a pleasure trip and for our wedding anniversary, its an emotional thing. It is rare that we can actually pull off a getaway due to work, kids, elder care, pets, finances, etc. that I tweaked when Delta changed our reservation. So the change will still cost us in terms of paying an extra day for sitters and such.
I've got a friend who works at the airport and plan to ask him to watch that date and flight. Just want to see if it actually does run and if I was correct that they overbooked it and bumped us off!
