watch out for United airlines website
Before I start let me say yes I should have checked better. I went online to book our flights for a cruise and on the website I selected Houston, Tx and two choices pop up International and Hobby I selected Hobby since it is almost an hour closer to Galveston. Not knowing that United did not fly out of Hobby at that time, but I have checked for airfare with other airlines the same way and if they do not service that airport then you get a message saying that there are no flights that meet your criteria easy enough. United airlines site however if you click on Houston hobby airport defaults you to Houston Intercontinental an hour north of Houston Hobby so even though your telling them you want to goto a certain airport they decide to tell you they have flights that meet your needs, but instead send you to the wrong airport and oh by the way sorry we screwed with you and you did not read what came up on the screen and you can't have a refund. I am going to look further into this when I get back home because seems like misrepresentation to me and if I have to get a lawyer involved then I will it may just be that they have some legal disclaimer that gets them out of it, but I will have to see. Never going to fly united again though either way especially when we arrive at the airport and our baggage is damaged we witness my sons stroller being thrown through the baggage flap to where it came to rest on the floor with a united employee telling us "oh well there is your stroller" and when we get to the gate it took a united employee 25 minutes to connect the jetway to the aircraft after the fasten seatbelt sign was extinguised and the aircraft door was opened do they not train their employees or what.
