I was booked for August 24 and Air Canada just cancelled my flight last night. They put me on a direct flight a day earlier so now I'm trying to add accommodations but nothing is available at BWV through DVC. There are connecting flights available on the 24th but I would prefer to just go direct.
If you don’t like the flight they move you to, you can phone and change flight to one you like. Happened to me on Alaska last Nov and they changed me to day later. Not willing to give up a vacay day I phoned and they switched me to day earlier.
Can you book a cash reservation at another resort? Even a value?
^^ this is what my DVC member boss always does. He either drives and arrives in the wee hours, or takes the cheapest flight, and also arrives very late at night. Rather than waste points/money on a higher-end room, he gets a quick reservation at one of the All-Stars for that first night, then transfers over. He doesn't even unpack usually, just takes his carry-on into the room for a change/shower in the morning and leaves his bags with bell services.
You could just stay at the hotel right at the airport, then take DME the next morning. We have done this many times. Lots of great restaurants and shops at MCO!
Thanks for the reminder. I guess I should do the same. I have a HAL panama cruise in April. I figure it is a 50/50 chance at this point, but if I book through the cruise line, I know that they will take care of me. I'm not going to worry about the rest until closer to the time. Fingers crossed that by that time, testing will be in the rear view mirror.
I was watching CTV news tonight. There was a cruise out of Florida - Celebrity? To go everyone must be fully vaccinated as well as the staff. And still a few people got Covid onboard.
Yesterday Alaska canceled my Vancouver-Seattle connection. I was supposed to take a 5:40ish flight to connect in SeaTac for my MCO flight (red eye). So they put me on earlier flight arriving same day At 5pm instead of the next morning. Means I had to book a room for that night. this is for October. Then for return home they cancelled my 11:50am flight so put me on a 7:30am flight home. I asked What other options I had. Not getting up at 3am for flight home. There was a 6pm flight so I took that one.
Actually, CTV was correct (and late to the party, since this happened last week), although "fully vaccinated" actually meant >95%
He cracks me up! I do watch him...as well as Tony. Those are the only 2 cruise vloggers I watch.
I have the same. Two companion vouchers 1 to be used by the end of the year, and 1 by March 1. I wonder if they have to be USED by those dates or booked by those dates? We're flying in April next year (fingers crossed).
I just answered my own question. From the website: Bookings must be made prior to the expiry date; travel may occur after the expiry date subject to flight schedule availability at the time of booking. Colour me happy!
