Well, after several hours tonight, we finally have travel arrangements, as well as hotel and a car. I can't say that all airlines are this way, but USAirways has really taken any enjoyment out of travel. We are using frequent flier miles to travel, but the tickets are still not free. There are award fees, there are expedite fees because we are under 14 days notice, 911 fees, and on and on. If we happen to need to change our return date because approvals are delayed, the change fee is $150...... per ticket!!! Oh well, we have flights. We leave on Monday, January 26 and are booked to return on February 7. We did have a funny aspect. While exploring travel arrangements we talked with USAirways personnel with regard to the baby. Basically, we want to book a ticket so that we will have a seat to place her carrier in. 4 and half to 5 hours is a bit long to have a lap baby. Well, we were trying to purchase a one way ticket for the baby. So, they asked her name, which we provided. They then asked for her birth date, which we also provided. It just happened to be next Tuesday! Needless to say, USAirways personnel had no clue what to do other than they could not book a ticket for someone who had not been born yet. So, we have to wait until Tuesday to book a ticket. I guess some days you can just be too honest and up front with your answers.
