On Nov 26, I arranged w/AA to take the $100pp "hit" to change our $728.20pp tix (reserved in August) to the then-current $491.20pp, with the net difference refunded to us in AA vouchers. Today I woke up to the fact that I never received receipts or vouchers. Called AA. "Oh, that was a month ago. We have no record of that, or any way to connect you to the fare at that time. It's $645.20pp now for your March flights." "Supervisor", I said. Cheery supervisor took some time, but says I will receive my November "deal", with email confirmation tonight and physical vouchers in the mail to follow. And he apologized.

My fallback was simply to cancel the AA tix (at the cost of $100pp), shift our travel dates a few days, and take Delta's Wednesday flights Mar 5 to Bonaire, Mar 19 returning, currently $562.20pp. I'm almost sorry that the AA supervisor took care of our problem.

Incidentally, there are lots of seats available on the Delta flights. Lunch on the way to BON and dinner returning, plus a movie each way!

As I see it now, the only advantage of going AA is being able to fill up with Ron Barrilito in SJU on the return trip.

Our AA flights also aren't full up, so maybe we stand a good chance of not being bumped on the way down. Please no one else book for Feb 29 to Bonaire. Thanks.

David
