I booked a round trip flight through Expedia. After arriving in Ca., the decision was made for my mother to return with me to Mt. I didn't have access to a computer so I called Alaska Air directly and purchased a ticket for my mother. Then circumstances dictated that I return to Mt. sooner than expected, I contacted a friend who contacted Expedia online to change my flight, meanwhile I called Alaska Air to change my mother's ticket. Alaska Air was very helpful and changed the date. Expedia gave me phone #s to call which I did, but in the end they said they could not change the date and that the only way for me to accompany my 90yr old mother was to purchase another ticket. Dealing directly with the airline was much easier, faster, the airfare was the same price, and they were much more accomadating. In the future, I will go directly to the airline, I thought the Expedia was to make travel easier and lower cost, but it only increased problems and ultimately cost me an additional fare.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16802405444821017679noreply@blogger.com
