United just cancelled our flight from Albany, NY to Aruba on the 30th of Jan. This flight was booked on March 19th using FF miles. I called right away and the agent told me there were no flights I could be put on for the 30th on either United or USairways. My only options were to take a flight on the 29th or the 31st or get my miles and my booking fee back. I took the flight on the 29th because I didn't want to loose a day of vacation. It's a lucky thing I could be flexible but now I have to pay for a nights stay somewhere in Aruba. It's still cheaper than buying the flight right now. Also it will be another trip to the airport, about 120 miles round trip because my wife is still flying out on the 30th using USairways. I asked for several options but United wasn't very helpful. We fly about 3 times a year and this is the first time something like this has happened. A sign of things to come!
