Flight Reservations
« on: November 22, 2023, 01:59:28 PM »
Is it me or is it much harder to make flight reservations?  I am trying to book a flight to Florida in March and in order to avoid additional $ on the return flight, I have only ONE return flight I can choose....with a 2 1/2 hour layover in Newark (and it's on a different carrier)!

I made similar reservations last Feb and had NO issues like this.

Somebody shoot me now. :facepalm:

It has become twice as hard to fly anywhere since the governmental attack on airlines in 2020. For lots of reasons, including staff being poisoned or fired, third-world people running the airlines, crippling governmental regulations (I heard of a flight being canceled on a family member because ONE CREW MEMBER failed to show up!), and lots of other things I don't even know about.

It's all deliberate, and part of the globalist plan. Those people HATE air travel for the common man. They don't want anyone else in the air except themselves.

Many air carriers went bankrupt or near-bankrupt during the lockdown.

I have found that some former trans-oceanic carriers no long fly trans-oceanic routes, but mostly "in-country" with some connector flights.

So, yes, I have found that there are fewer (and more expensive) choices.

Where previously I experienced diligence, I am also finding an intolerable level of carelessness in making such reservations.

I have long avoided US flag carriers due to their low level of "service" and shitty attitudes on international flights. That has not changed.

I, for one, have noticed fewer flights last year that there had been in previous times when I had to fly last year.  So it seems to be getting progressively worse over time.

Both posters above are, I think, correct.  My hope is that I will never again have to travel using those infernal airlines again.  Until I die, at least.  I will be buried at Mount St. Michael's cemetery in Spokane but live in Indiana.  Bodies are ordinarily transported by air.  I asked about using UPS Ground, but was told that wasn't an option.
