My 20 year old son and husband are stranded in memphis, truck broke down on the hightway. Whats the cheapest way to get them back. Should they rent truck and and drag the broken truck home, what would that cost? Rent a car and worry about the truck later?If so would a bus ticket be cheaper, what about cheap flights?

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

Re-imbursed for a trip taken on Feb. 29th, 2008
Re-imbursed for a trip taken on Feb. 29th, 2008?
We had a very bad problem with Delta while flying to Pensacola, Fl. We missed a flight in Memphis due to weather conditions in Grand Rapids, Mi. Upon our arrival there we were given tickets to fly to PNS to Ft. Lauderdale at 7:30 PM There were four of us traveling together for a MS cruise out of FLL, two of them made it on the Delta Flight. The two of us who were traveling with them to assist them because of their medical condition were turned back at the gate because they claim NW failed to put the required number on our ticket. It was a E-ticket Number. Consequently we missed our flight. After haggling with both Delta and NWA we were put on a flight the following day. We gave the person at the gate all of our itinery and the e-ticket number was on everything. We called Minneapolis and they found it on the computer right away. Delta was very nasty with us.....like it was our fault. We had to pay half for our room in FLL which was $50.00 a piece.

Several things that will make a difference. If NWA gave control of your ticket to Delta ( rule 240) Re booking for canceled delayed or misconnect you should be dealing with Delta. Once NWA re booked you as a confirmed Passenger Delta is the responsible airline and trust me NWA payed plenty to confirm you on that flight. I would request a full refund for expenses and the flight as you missed your cruise. It may take a letter to a VP but it is the contract of carriage.

Airlines that have rebooking/rerouting policies derived from the obsolete Rule 240 (it disappeared when airlines were deregulated) generally do not apply the rule in the case of weather delays. Therefore, the first answer does not apply in this instance, since the initial delays and subsequent reroutes were weather-related. Contractually, neither NW or DL owe anything to you as a result of this incident. From a customer-service standpoint, however, their errors caused your overnight delay, and to that end, I would definitely explain to DL and NW your issues and ask for your hotel room to be reimbursed. It may or may not work, but I think that's your only chance for compensation here.

well, regardless of who did what, when...the bottom line is that the initial reason for your troubled day, was, weather. had it not been for the weather that day that made you miss your connecting flight in memphis, you would have sailed to FLL and your cruise on time. Weather is an act of God and out of the airlines control. Most airlines will not compensate for anything under those conditions. Contact any airline and ask to read their 'Contract of Carriage', and all of them will tell you the same thing. In this time of economic upheaval in the airline industry...my guess is that you're just going to have to eat it on this one...but then, it never hurts to voice your displeasure...remember...the squeeky wheel, SOMETIMES gets the grease.

How can I get from Seattle to Whistler, BC, at a reasonable price
How can I get from Seattle to Whistler, BC, at a reasonable price?
I'm planning a trip to Whistler next winter. I found a nonstop Delta flight from Memphis to Seattle, which was about half the price of flying on a 1 stop flight from Memphis to Vancouver. I want to find a way to Whistler from Seattle that will not end up costing me more than the flight itself! I've looked at AmTrak, Greyhound, and Coach Canada (which doesn't offer anything from Washington state). Is there a reasonable priced coach and/or train company that will get me to Whistler?

I thought I gave you some hints on this when I answered your first question. But never mind, I just checked again on the sites I recommended before. But I know what you mean about costing as much to get from Seattle to Whistler costing just as much as flying from Memphis to Seattle. I live on Vancouver Island and it will cost me at least $250 to get to Seattle and back no matter which way I go, and then $300 from Seattle to Tampa and back. Doesn't make sense but there it is. Quick Shuttle from Seatac to Vancouver airport, return trip, $81.70 US in the middle of February. Pacific Coach Lines shuttle from Vancouver airport to Whistler, maximum $149 return CAD depending where you want to go in Whistler. There's a cheaper bus to Whistler from Vancouver, the Snowbus. To get that one, I'd take the Quick Shuttle out of Seatac into downtown Vancouver, to the closest location the Snowbus stops at. You can probably find one that's walkable; if not, a taxi won't cost much. Or take it to Vancouver airport and then take a taxi or the Skytrain to the River Rock/Bridgeport stop in Richmond, which is not far from the airport. Timing will be much more crucial with that bus because it only leaves twice a day weekdays and 3 times on Friday to Sunday. You'll have to get to Seatac pretty early unless you're flying on a weekend

Amtrak will get you from Seattle to Whistler for $55-$60 one way. It's a train ride to Vancouver and a bus to Whistler. It's an all-day affair; but "time is money" as they say. You might also look for someone who wants to share a ride in exchange for gas money. We Seattlites head up to Whistler all the time. Whistler's website even has a page (link below) for ridesharing.

Three hours is not enough time to leave the airport and sightsee. Check out the shops and restaurants in the terminal, take a good book, or watch TV.
