What was I thinking when I booked my original trip to NY? Why was I going to go back home on the 8th...a Saturday. Seriously, who does that? So for the past day I've been modifying and rearranging my flight schedule. As of last night, my trip went from spanning the 30th of this month through the 8th of February to the 30th through the 10th. Well, then we got to thinking...it's a real shame that I'm not going to be there for Valentine's Day. Yup, that's right...I decided to try and change my itinerary yet again.
So this morning I gave Delta a call and asked if they had any returning flights available for Valentine's Day weekend. Well, it turned out that they didn't and it would cost me
$1,100.00 to book a non-SkyMiles one-way flight!!! As the guy on the phone said, it would be cheaper to just buy a separate round-trip ticket and "miss" one direction. So I decided to give jetBlue a try Turns out, instead of an $1,100.00 one-way ticket, jetBlue only charges $195. Quite a difference, I must say. So now the plan is to "miss" my Feb 10th return flight and take the one-way jetBlue flight home on February 16. So it'll cost me a bit more, but like I said previously...it's definitely worth it. I just wonder how my boss is gonna like this. ;) And--of course--there's also the issue of missing the first week of my EMT-B class, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'll just read my textbook while I'm in NY.
Don't you feel so much more intelligent now that I've told you all of this?
