These things always happen

Last night United left a message saying that our flight from Bangkok to Cairo had been cancelled! Yay

So 3 hours of wrangling later and we dropped a couple of flights, added a couple of flights and somehow removed our layover in turkey and one of our layovers in Cairo.  We also added 2 layovers, one with a 10 hour stop in Addis Ababa Ethiopia and another in Vienna Austria.

In all, our stops are basically the same length and it worked out but it did take a fair amount of finagling with United to only charge us the difference in taxes since I changed so many flights and not just the one that was cancelled!  We weren’t giving up our stop in Egypt easily!

Not exactly what you want the day before departure but, we’re flexible enough to just go with it.

    No step for a stepper. You probably never heard that old saying but I bet you understand.

    Makes me weary just reading. Glad you are a stepper. =)
