Damn airlines

[007]

They just changed my nonstop return flight from Orlando later this year to a stopover in Milwaukee. WTH!!!? I purchased NONSTOP for a reason. Anyone else had a problem with this on airlines? I have to wait until tomorrow to even deal with the change.

Biggest business class, best first class(skysuites), even economy you get a toothbrush and socks, self serving snack bars, hot towels instead of handi wipes or nothing at all, good food, flights on time, widest seats in the business, check-in seemingly hassle free. On the A380 they will have bedroom suites.

Just can't be beat yet.

DAmnit!!! The did it to me again.

Still non-stop but now I have to get the kids up at 4am for a 7am flight out of KC. AND our final day in Orlando is completly SHOT as we will have to be at the airport by 8:30am!!! It is too late to make changes with Disney without paying penalties now as well.

Thanks Midwest. How soon before you scrub these flights (the last non-stops available BTW) and throw me back on a one-stop in Milwaukee that will make the flight last over 6 hours. I paid for this back in October. So much for early bird.

I flew Midwest to round trip from KC to Ft Lauderdale last year with family of 8.
had not one but two delays for a total of 10 hours and what best could be described as hostile flight crew.

I ended up with a $100.00 dollar voucher for each passenger.

I used them this last weekend to fly to Austin with 4 people.
We experienced a 5 hour fly delay, hot coffee spilled In my lap and lost luggage . I will be contacting them today to revoke the "best care in the air phrase".
The worst part about it was the lack of communication during the delay.

All I ever heard was good things about midwest. All I have gotten is frustration with them.

It seems to be getting like that with pretty much every airline these days.

I've flown United 16 times in the past 6 weeks. 13 of those flights were either delayed 4+ hours or canceled...only once was it for weather, the rest were crew schedule changes or mechanical issues. I received a whopping total of $0 in vouchers or any other sort of "make good offers." And it hasn't been for lack of complaining.

Flying right now just sucks in general.

I can just see two more things happening here.

First they will eliminate these last two NON-STOP flights.
Second once rescheduled on the layover flights that I didn't want, I will then get asked to take a new flight on the day of due to overbooking(that they have gone out of their way to create). My answer to that will be a resounding HELL-NO!!!!
