Anyone Else's flights to Mexico Getting Canceled?!

Jaime · July 14, 2008

I had the same problem out of Portland. We had our flights booked for 3pm arrival and they switched us to the 9pm arrival. I called american airlines and the lady I spoke with was very nice and after an hour plus on the phone with her she got us on a flight for the day prior (sunday in at 9pm instead of mon at 9pm) at no extra charge. It is still not ideal but better then missing the meeting with WC on Monday, or having to spend a night in the Dallas airport. Now we have to decided to either book an extra night at the RIU RM Palace (which is not cheap) or find a different place to crash for one night. I hope it doesn't get worse b/c we are not getting married until Feb 09.

Hi, another Portlander--YAY! That is good that you had a nice airline rep, wish we had gotten her! I asked our wedding coordinator if she'd throw in a night free because we too had to switch to the day before. I have no idea if she'll say yes but it is becoming quite a hassle getting in to Mexico at a reasonable price right now and we are bringing 50+ people to their resort and getting no perks in return so I think they should consider it under the circumstances. I hope!
