    Made an honest mistake in booking ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Made an honest mistake in booking a last minute flight for the wrong dates due to stress from a parent's passing. Although my original flight was non-refundable, my flight was cancelled so I can arrange a flight that leaves tonight. I really appreciate it and the customer service rep (Grace) who assisted me was amazing and refunded and canceled the wrongly booked flight.. Thank you - Brenda K, March 2026
