So I am sitting at Burbank Airport, waiting to see what was formerly our best shot to get to Phoenix. The weather turned south again and the first flight this morning was cancelled. We had to do what us airline employees hate doing most: Buy a ticket. We didn’t even get to buy a confirmed seat. The flight was at capacity and we bought full fare refundible revinue standby tickets. So now the game plan is try to get on our now oversold flight, and if so call to refund our purchased tickets. If not, we’re #1 and #2 on the standby list for revenue flight. Wish us luck!
UPDATE:
I am sitting in the boarding area at Burbank airport with a completed jumpseat agreement and a boarding pass with a seat number! we got on the overbooked flight. Cancelled the fully refundable ticket and we’re on our way
