Why I hate airlines, part AD of NAUSEAM
May. 11th, 2005 09:34 amI'm sure that I would think this was humourous if it was happening to somebody else, but even with my best zen-like effort I am having trouble finding much to laugh about.
I'm subscribed to a "fare watcher" service with one of the online travel booking agencies. They email me every time the fares drop on one of the routes that I'm watching, and this morning I got a note telling me that the return fare from Winnipeg to Vancouver had dropped by $100.
Savingsesss my preciousssss!
Meh. That's the difference of $950 versus $1150, but that's $200 that I wouldn't be dropping into the airline's pockets. I selected a departure date of June 30th and clicked on "Next" to get a list of return dates offered at that rate.
( And here's what I got. )
I'm sure that I would not be remiss in saying, "What the smeg?!" We'd have to readjust our vacation plans a bit, but we'd be saving almost $200, right?
Bleah. We hatesesss the airlinesesss my preciousssss.!
[Edit: Just to be clear from this picture, the return fare is only offered for the same day that we'd be flying out, thus if we simply stayed on the plane...]
