I live in California (moving with my bf soon). My boyfriend (resides in NY) booked a confirmed flight via expedia.com with Delta (flight 79) for today 2/11/2010 from JFK to LAX returning on 2/16/2010. With 55 minutes left before departure the automated machine gives him a denial alert. So he goes to the Delta counter, they tell him he cannot check in his bag. After 20 minutes of wasted time trying to find a solution about checking in his ONE luggage, they inform him “WE SOLD YOUR SEAT TO SOMEONE ELSE” WTF!!!!! But how nice of them to offer another flight departing on 2/14 but with an additional charge and with the same freakin’ return date. “IF YOU WANT A LATER RETURN DATE IT WILL BE AROUND $1000 DIFFERENCE.” WTF is their problem. Since my boyfriend was extremely tired to argue with them he booked the departure of 2/14 return on 2/16 with an additional $50 fee. So now I’m calling DELTA …. they need to compensate us for our time wasted and extend his return date w/o any fee what so ever! If I do not get anything I will just get a FULL REFUND and never fly delta again!!!!!!!!
