Airline Schedule Changes????????

Hi all

I recently purchased 3 airline tickets through Orbitz for flights on
United. Today I received an e-mail from Orbitz regarding a schedule
change for UA #822 (SFO-ANC). From the e-mail it looks as though the
arrival and departure times have changed for this flight and not for
the better. As you can very well guess I was not very happy with these
new times, so I e-amiled Orbitz to see if they could help me.

Well in any event after searching the webiste along with the UA
webiste I discovered that the times for this flight are not the new
times I received today, but rather are the old times. Anyone know what
is up there? Has anyone dealt with Orbitz or United for that matter in
regards to revised flight schedules or times on their part do not meet
your needs? Also if we end being stuck with the new flights times that
give us a 5 hour layover in SFO, what is there to do? I mean other
than getting a bite to eat, people watching, or plane watching, There
is only so much of that a person or rather 3 people can do.

Thanks

Don't accept what they try to reschedule you on. Look at the various
alternates (routing through different cities, or leaving from/arriving
at "co-terminals"). Could try flying through ORD (not sure where you
are originating from)

if you don't like it, you can always get your money back. it's part of
the CoC

If you're stuck there, and have never been to San Francisco, you can take
BART directly into downtown San Francisco, have a quick snack, look at the
cable cars, etc. (Downtown SF is pretty nice as cities go). It's about 30
minute ride on BART, so you won't have too much time to fool around, but
you'll at least get a glimpse of the city.

Check the C of C. Normally if an airline can't get you an acceptable (to
you) scheduling, you can get a refund.

Your best option is to call UA, ask about the schedule change, see if
they can reroute you because of it (somewhere with a better connection) and
to clarify with them the final flight times. If you really don't like the
new times, you can get a full refund.

That's right. Orbitz is there to sell tickets. But once you have your
United ticket, then check with United directly regarding what is the correct
schuedule. An if it just doesn't work, you can try to have United rebook
you for something different (though they won't offer you anything that is
not United or Star Alliance). And if nothing works, just get a full cash
refund.

Follow-up to my posting. Called Orbitz and they are sending my request
for an earlier arrival time to Untied. Was asked if I wanted a refund
if UA can not accommodate my request. My response was "no, we will
stick with schedule if need be." Should receive a call from Orbitz in
next few weeks regarding this matter.

If it were me, I would call United and learn on the spot what the options
are, instead of going through Orbitz in the middle. It's hard enough to get
a good agent even directly through the airline who can find the best option
for you (and it is always a good idea to end the call and re-dial if you
think the agent isn't up to snuff), let alone to go through Orbitz and a
few additional weeks and another level of bureaucracy into the mix.

I have used Orbitz when I needed to make a change to a flight that I
booked with them and found them really helpful. I emailed them and
they emailed me back the next day. I even ended up booking a hotel
with them after because their deals were really good.

Are you saying they did this for no charge, or that the process was easy?

Always with the moronic questions.....

About Rogue Cisco Employee Michael "mrtravelkay" Voight,
a.k.a. the "mrtravel" Netkook Troll/Usenet Flooder

***WARNING: THIS IDIOT HAS BEEN CAUGHT FORGING PEOPLE'S IDENTITIES ON USENET
AND CANCELLING THEIR POSTS.***

"mrtavelkay" is the latest usenet handle of a brainless troll whose real name is
Michael Voight, email .

He is better known by his previous stupid handle, "mrtravel".

The idiot works for Cisco in San Jose and apparently they don't
keep him busy enough so he has to troll usenet when he isn't
looking for foreign brides to marry in exchange for money
in alt.visa.us.marriage-based and alt.personals.big-folks, or trying
to pick up minors in alt.personals.teens or any of the number of creepy
newsgroups he frequents. Some of his other trolling aliases are Network
Guy, , sleepydoc , jlhunt
, and Lost 5 of 8 , mrt ,
news.sf.sbcglobal.net , not-nomen
, David Tanner
, Jeff Davies , BobTheBuilder
.

All intelligent members of the usenet community have killfiled him, so he takes
great pains to get past their killfiles by rubbing his only two cerebral neurons
together and coming up with gems like: mrtrav , mrtrav3
, mrraveltay , and mrtravelkay
, and mtravelkay and ""a.a\"@a,a,a.
The lastest product of his brain diarrhea is Bill Clarkj
.

He seems to like to hang out in alt.sex.preteen. Hmmm....

His phone numbers are 831-295-3628 and 831-252-2606.

He's got a daughter in Orange County that one of his ex-wives had the
intelligence to take away from him. Lord only knows what could have
happened to her if she had continued to live with the kook. The other kids
he has belong to his previous Russian sleazy brides, and since they come
and go so do the kids. It wouldn't hurt to let Cisco know what kind of
deviant sexual pervert maniac they have working for them, so....

For starters, forward his idiotic posts to .

He works in technical support, so forward them to .

He often posts through sbcglobal and prodigy, so forward them to
and as well.

You can also call them at 1 800 553 2447 and ask to speak with a supervisor
and explain that you are EXTREMELY unhappy that this idiot spends his whole
day at work playing on the internet on company time. THEY WILL NOT LIKE
THAT.

Then write to corporate headquarters explaining what this idiot is doing
and telling them HOW BAD IT IS FOR THEIR COMPANY IMAGE. They will LOVE
that you brought this to their attention:

Cisco Systems, Inc.
170 West Tasman Dr.
San Jose, CA 95134
USA

Then also call them. You should always follow up email or letters with
phone calls. Always ask for supervisors or managers. Try to get as far up
as possible.

(408)526-4000
(800)553-NETS or
(800)553-6387

Contact Investor Relations and tell them you are interested in investing in
their company but won't do so until they get rid of this asshole who is
wasting company resources:

Cisco Systems, Inc.
Investor Relations Department
170 West Tasman Drive
San Jose, CA 95134-1706
Phone: (408) 526-8890
Fax: (408) 526-4545
Email:

Might as well contact customer service too, they LOVE to hear about this
type of stuff:

USA 1 800 553 6387




Then finally, send letters with copies of his nasty posts addressed
personally to each one of the OFFICERS of the company using the
headquarters address. Believe me, they READ your complaints and are VERY
INTERESTED in them, especially if it's about one of their employees. They
will take a PERSONAL interest in rooting this ASSHOLE out of their company:

John Morgridge, Chairman
John Chambers, President, CEO
Donald Valentine, Vice Chairman
Larry Carter, CFO, Sr. VP-Fin. and Admin., Sec., Director
Richard Justice, Sr. VP, Worldwide Field Operations

Have fun!
