i am so upset right now and am sitting at my desk hysterical crying and i want to kill him...

he made a mistake booked a 7 AM flight for today instead of 7 PM - at least he realized it BUT now it cost us a fortune because we are paid for 2 flights today....

he is such an idiot...i dont know why he even told me - he sould have kept it a secret from me....

i feel like i am going to be sick over it

OMG gosh...so sorry! That is the worst feeling and I am always so scared I am going to do that! Where were you going? FL?

To make you feel better I missed a flight one time (my fault...but the airline people were jerks and I really could have made it). Anyway I just had a bad breakup with ex-bf and my dad bought me a ticket to go to a family reunion that I wasnt originally planning on going to. Anyway I had to pay $700 for a brand new flight! I was sick over it too but I had to get there and my coworker said 'there is always money to be made....go be with your family and god will find a way to get the money back to you' (Shes very religious). Anyway I did make the $$$ back at my second pt job which started giving me so many hours! I am so happy I went and dont regret it for one minute!

$700...ouch. Aww, see she was right...it came back to you!

there was no way to switch the flights? I did that recently with Jetblue the same day i was going to fly i took an earlier one and the fee is only $25 per ticket to change it...

Oh wow...I'm glad he realized it before you guys got to the airport. Thankfully the outcome wasn't too bad.....you are right all you can do about it now is laugh

Your FH had major bridal brain....it happens to even the grooms

well what happened was he didnt realize until after we already missed the 7 am flight that he booked the wrong time - so it wasnt switching it - it was like we just never showed up for our flight and wanted to book a new flight - they charged him $100 cancellation fee for each ticket....i think if we realized sooner it wouldnt have been as much

thanks guys i feel better....he worked it out with them somehow but it still cost us $200 extra than it was supposed to...he feels horrible and i know he is upset to and he feels like a jerk - its just that this trip was already a little stressful and now this on top of it.....but i guess there is nothing left do but laugh about it right....its kind of funny that he booked the 7 AM flight instead of the 7 PM flight - but not that funny at least he realized BEFORE we got to the airport tonight!

glad it somewhat worked out.. losing $200 is better than the whole cost for sure!!

Yes $700...it was the most absurd thing ever!!!! I argued and wrote letters to Spirit and got $350 back and put it towards a new flight. Thank god!
