UGH I am so mad... When we were booking our Honeymoon FH kept telling me that since his Uncle works for American Airlines he WAS GOING TO (not he could) get us a discount on plane tickets etc... so when we booked the room we got the more expensive one since we would be saving money.
Fast forward to today I asked him to call his uncle to tell him which flight we wanted so he could get us the tix....and his uncle told him he could NOT get him a discount.. he could only get us one if we fly stand-by (which i am not taking the chance of doing that for my HM).
So I ask FH why he kept saying that his uncle was getting us a discount? Did his uncle lie to us? Did they change the policy etc? and FH says... (NO JOKE) 'Oh i never asked him I just assumed since he worked for them he could'
I just hung up the phone on him... MEN!!! Now we are way over budget for the honeymoon and I think we have to downgrade the room after i got all excited about it.
Sorry im so whiney.. im just really annoyed

Where is the honeymoon and when? If it is not busy season you could probably fly stand by and save ALOT of money but I understand why you wouldn't want to take the chance. My aunt works for American Airlines and you can never get discounts on tickets. The only thing you can do is fly on the standby passes.
Sorry, I hope you can still keep your room...
It is in September... I am really nervous to take the chance and fly standby. What really bothers me is that somehow his uncle was able to get his brother cheaper tickets just recently and they did not fly standby. Whatever, just made me mad that he said for MONTHS his uncle WAS getting us a discount without ever actually asking him..OY!
No I TOTALLY understand !! I would be sooo mad. I've just learned to accept that guys just don't think.... at all. It's so FRUSTRATING !!

Don't worry- mine is just as frustrating. I think they all are.
When we started planning, and I was looking for gowns, my FH says 'You're wearing a gown? I thought we'd just wear regular clothes!' I immediately had him medicated. They just don't know how to use their heads sometimes.
Since your HM is quite a few months away, is it possible you can wait to purchase the tickets?? The only reason I ask, is that with the price of fuel plummeting, shouldn't the air fares follow suit shortly? Of course, this is not a forgone conclusion, as since the fuel prices have gone down, they haven't gotten rid of the extra fees they instituted to cover for the increased fuel prices (charging for baggage check), nor have they reinstated the things they took away, like pillows and drinks.
I'm thinking that they HAVE to go down at some point.
I should have him medicated as well! lol
I dont know if the prices will go down or not, You would think with the fuel prices going down they would but I dont know
I am going to wait regardless, I dont have the mula to book it now anyhow!

Re: Frustrated with FH
Sounds like my FH...absolutely infuriating the way they think sometimes...(or DON'T think is more like it!!)
I am not kidding- my FH does stuff like that ALL the time...and then when I remind him to do stuff he gets annoyed with me like I'm nagging him...I'm not nagging I'm just paranoid and RIGHTFULLY SO!
You are not alone!

Ahhhhhhhh that would drive me insane. FH does things like that too. I swear, they are born without a part of the brain we have.

Men.
but don't worry about downgrading the room. You don't spend that much time in the room anyway... and when you're there, you're not paying attention to the decor!

Re: Frustrated with FH
generally speaking, that's how it works with friends and family of people who work for an airline... maybe the uncle assumed that you knew that??? i know several people who work for airlines and they get a 'buddy pass' for friends but you have to wait on standby... i understand it's your honeymoon... i wish you could use them somehow!
