Hi,
MY wife and I are flying out to O'ahu next month, and had set up our travel on Delta using frequent flyer miles.
Then we got a note from Delta saying that they had to change our flights, and that I should call to work out the new arrangements.
Many of the flights now were full, or at bad times, so I struggled on the phone with the agent for awhile trying to figure out what to do.
Finally, I said, look if I'm making a change, why shouldn't I try to make it comfortable for me. I asked how many more frequent flyer points I'd have to add to the mix to upgrade to first class.
After a moment of searching, the agent came back and cheerfully told me that first class was cheaper than the coach ticket I'd purchased!
So my wife and I are flying first class, and Delta refunded 15,000 miles to my account!
How about them apples? I'm not sure what lesson I learned here...
