Watch your air reservations!

[dwlmgold]

We own a fair amount of timeshare and to get prime locations we book as soon as the time we want is available. We book air at the same time. Twice now schedule changes by airlines have made our connections impossible. Delta lets you know via email for each change. For United, they rescheduled our flight at a connecting city to a flight which left even before our flight left our original point of departure. No notice, and when I checked and called an agent, it took them a while to realize my problem. US Airways cancelled the service to Hawaii from a connecting city on Mondays. We were set to fly on Monday. Our online reservation had a note but nothing in email or phone. My profile had contact data for both means of communications. Moral, check your air reservations on line periodically.

I use Delta or American Airlines while travelling to or via the USA and they always have informed me of schedule changes, which were minimal anyway. Have travelled with United in the past and while there have not been any mishaps, they do seem less communicative than the other two.

Flying to Truk last day of February using United.
I am flying from West Palm Beach, while my friends are flying out of New York.
My schedule was from WPB to Houston, to Hawaii, to Guam then Truk
with a return going Truk to Guam to Tokyo to Houston to WPB.

My friends were scheduled to go from NY (forget LGA or NWK) to Houston , then join me on same flights from there.
About two weeks ago one friend was worried about the short layover in Houston. WHen he called United they said they should not have booked with short layover between flights and changed his itinery. He had also mentioned how the flight numbers between Houston and Hawaii had changed. He suggested (as you did) to check up.

Well I did, and it turned out they changed my return (without telling me) so now I go from Tokyo to Newark to WPB

The other thing that gets me is that Houston to Honolulu and Honolulu are "domestic" flights so food is not provided (purchase only) even though these are almost 10 hour flights!
