I have a question.

[disney's daughter]

I am flying to Orlando from Flint, Michigan on October 3rd using Air Tran...So far, there have been no schedule changes...

I am flying again to Orlando on December 7th using Air Tran...I had noticed that a couple of days after I had made my reservations, they had changed my schedule coming back...(without notifying me)...The time that I had originally no longer existed..but another time within a couple of minutes of the original one did exist and didn't have a four hour lay over like the "rescheduled" one did...So, I called up..and they changed it for me without a charge....

Now...(yes, I know it is excessive)..I am going to Disney again on February 19th (there are seven of us flying out of Flint, again) through Northwest...I happened to go on the site...My original flights still show up under my name...however..when I go to the Northwest site, again..my flights no longer exist...There is one that is very similar to mine for a lot less money...There would be over a $500 difference for all of us ...Ok...Does this mean my flight is all filled up...or there are changes and I haven't been notified? With all of Northwest's problems, should I even think of calling them up to see what is up and to get a credit on my visa (as when I made the reservations, it said they were guaranteed to be the lowest prices and if the prices dropped, I would be compensated...hmmmm...whatever that might mean... )

What do you think?

It's certainly worth a try (worst thing that happens is they say "tough luck"). However, when they guarantee the lowest price, I'm assuming they mean for that if the prices drop for your itinerary, you will be compensated. And by "compensated" I'm also guessing they mean you'll get a credit, not a refund. Since the travel you are seeing at a lower price is not the same itinerary you have booked, I doubt they'll compensate you. But like I said, it never hurts to ask -- good luck!
