ST, decide my rebooking

Posted by znufrii Feb 28 '23, 18:55

5:13pm PBI-PHL on Frontier, ~$700 after fare difference and cancelation fee

2:15pm FLL-PHL on Southwest, ~$800, ending up with a ~$600 travel credit on Frontier

Obviously the SWA flight is a better deal, but then I'd have to fly Frontier again at some point. Ugh.

I bet you could get a Greyhound for like half that. -- nm - mafic Feb 28, 19:21 3

  - $209, in coach, for 30 hours. - znufrii Feb 28, 19:31
  - Greyhound from $173.84, and as little as 29 hours! -- nm - mafic Feb 28, 19:25
I’d do Southwest and see where else Frontier can get you. -- nm - spamlet Feb 28, 19:07 5

    - I've flown them TTN-ATL actually, using credit from our delayed flight home from New Orleans. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 28, 19:23 1
      - I'm sensing a trend here..... -- nm* - ty97 Feb 28, 19:27
are both direct? if so, I'd go with the southwest just because I got home earlier -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 28, 19:01 4
- After getting stuck overnight in PHX, It'll be a while before we book anything that isn't direct. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 28, 19:07 3
  - American has lots of non-stops from PHL! - ty97 Feb 28, 19:14 2
    - not to PDX off-season anymore, apparently! -- nm* - znufrii Feb 28, 19:15 1
      - And Alaska only flies PHL-SEA, not PDX. Welp, off to Newark with you then! -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 19:19
How long is the Frontier travel credit good for? They usually expire after some time (a year, or less). Check the fine print. -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 18:57 11
- would need to book within 90 days, looks like. -- nm* - znufrii Feb 28, 18:58 10
  - book within 90 or fly within 90? Why aren't you eligible for a fee-free refund? Did they schedule change you to an overnight connection? -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 19:00 9
    - and it's book within 90, if I'm reading this correctly -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 28, 19:06
    - see below. schedule change of our current flight was less than 60 minutes, so they are not offering a refund as an option. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 28, 19:02 7
      - Did you book this as separate one-ways? I thought the outbound fight had a major change? - ty97 Feb 28, 19:13 6
        
        The outbound did, but since I already updated my reservation it's not giving me the option to cancel anymore. -- nm* - znufrii Feb 28, 19:15 5
        
        ahh okay. Might be worth leaning into that major schedule change if you want a full refund - ty97 Feb 28, 19:18 4
        
        That's also assuming I can get a hold of an actual person to explain it to. -- nm - znufrii Feb 28, 19:20 3
        
        Details, details -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 19:21 2
        
        J wants me to complain on Twitter. -- nm - znufrii Feb 28, 19:22 1
        
        Worth a try, though people complaining about airlines on Twitter is about as common as bagel and pizza shops in NYC. -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 19:22
'cancellation fee'? Why would you pay a cancellation fee with such a major schedule change? -- nm - ty97 Feb 28, 18:56 1
- my current flight is MIA-PHL which got moved up by 45 minutes, and is the flight we can no longer make. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 28, 18:58
