blargin flargin aggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO my buddy has been in teh Army since last fall...... and therefore with training and such hasn't seen anyone in approximately a bazillion years.........
It being officially summer break at the end of this week I said "hey, i'll come down to AZ and make a vacation outta it thatd be cool" ..... murphys law being alive and well the base is on lockdown that week now for training (just found out today)
No prob I said, I'll call travelocity and either get some of my money back or book for a different time.
Well, apparently if I cancel I get absolutely no money back, and if I change my itinerary there is a $400 fee plus extra if the cost of flight at that time would be more. (the origional price I paid was $600 so I am basically almost paying for a whole second trip).
Needless to say I am not a happy camper at the moment, and will be finding somewhere with better policies in the future :(

Only a bazillion years? Me thinks that might be slightly exaggerated....
As for cheap travel- what's that saying? If it sounds too goo to be true, then it probably is.
What does the fine print say?

I had a the same thing happen to me, I planed a trip. Paid for it. I than had to change the date of my trip...It cost me the 350$ to change up the dates. The orignal cost of the trip was only 400$. I have never used Travelocity since. I have had good luck with cheep tickets.com and AOL traval.
