We had a VERY difficult time choosing a destination for our honeymoon that suited both our budget and our schedules (we''re both teachers) - but now we''re kind of back at square one - I just got this e-mail from our travel agent:
I wanted to let you know that there has been a schedule change with the airline. American Airlines was the last airline to fly non-stop, but they have now done away with this and are making a connection as well.
You were originally scheduled to fly: Oct 13th Leave JFK at 10:15 am Arrive St. Lucia at 2:50 pm
You are now scheduled to fly: Oct 13th Leave JFK at 5:45 am Arrive Miami at 8:45 am
Leave Miami at 10:50 am Arrive St. Lucia at 2:15 pm
I know that leaving out of JFK at 5:45 in the morning is rough ---- I did check other airlines for you and they are all doing the same itinerary leaving at 5 am or 6 am, all of them with a connection either though Miami, Atlanta, or San Juan.
Now for the return flight:
You were originally scheduled to fly: Oct 19th Leave St. Lucia at 4:05 pm Arrive JFK at 9:15 pm
Now you are scheduled: Oct 19th Leave St. Lucia at 3:50 pm Arrive Miami at 7:25 pm
Leave Miami at 9:00 pm Arrive JFK at 11:59 pm
I apologize for this. I have looked into other airlines, and as I stated above all the airlines are running similar itineraries. If we do decide to change the flight schedule, other then the one the airline supplied, you run the risk of having to pay more for the tickets.
The same holds true is you decide to change the airline all together, you would have to pay the difference of the ticket, and we can try to get the refund from American to go to a different airline.
I hope all of this is making sense.
Just let me know if the new flight itinerary is OK with you.
I *might* have just sucked it up and dealt with it, rather than had to start all over again, but FI is adament that this is not an option. I''m sort of inordinately upset right now, because we had finally chosen a place and I got really excited about it and now it looks like we are going to have to figure something else out.
