that's how they always get you

frontier $44, then bag, then carryon

it is squares like philly that eat that shit up

as dumb as it sounds, i'd rather pay twice as much than get nickel and dimed all over the place

one time i got charged $80 for an oversized bag going to vegas... on the way back i just put it up on the counter and walked away before they could measure it and charge me

that's my point

these squares act like they know shit

well I will be glad to hear if they do know something

but 95% of the time it is bs and I laugh.........when I am wrong 1 in 20 then I will apologize and thank them for the advice

You can only hold tickets on American for 24 hours if flight is booked at least 7 days in advance. If a flight is put on hold and departure is less than 7 days, you have to book by 11:59pm same day of putting ticket on hold.

i have heard of an extended hold for certain routes on American but there is an extra fee for that.

next time try calling the agent and ask that your ticket be put as "pick up at airport". I guarantee this will work with American

Booya thinks he knows everything, when did he become an airline expert ?

He has been chirping lately he's an airport executive at Delta Airlines another story

Booya moonlights as an airline secret shopper for a very powerful travel blog

well out of 5 trips given away, they had 9 cancellations, not a good look for sbr when people won't even take free airfare/hotel to hang out at their conference

i think less people would've cancelled going to an accounting convention

solid technique

**USCPHILLYGUY** · 07-24-17, 03:08 PM

I don't think the cancellations are indicative to what SBR is rolling out. I'm sure many don't have a passport, the upfront money to purchase their ticket or the where with all to interact with human beings without the use of a keyboard. It should be a great time although I do wish some of the poker guys would have made the trip. Am deff looking forward to seeing Big O, Booya, finally meeting up with Stealthy & enjoying a few rounds of golf.

if it drops all the way down to me for free airfare then the odds are decent, otherwise to be honest i'd rather spend the 1000 going to vegas for some ufc and zombie burlesque
