Quote
ANDERSON: We put a flat tire rule in place, for someone that misses their flight. (The rule allows customer service workers to waive a change fee and get passengers on the next flight if they were delayed by something unforeseen, like a flat tire.) 

Interesting. Was unfamiliar with that

This rule deserves its own thread.
Airlines sending me "We're in this together" emails.

Bruh, where were you when my suitcase weighed it 51.50 pounds?

Only Delta, or is it universal to other airlines?

It seems to be more of a cs concept than actual rule.

Basically you tell them the reason you are late is because you had a flat tire on the way to the airport nothing else seemed to work for me until i picked up the help phone again and told the agent that. and she rebooked me within 2 min

WOW!!!

This is amazing.

All you have to do is lie to them and tell them you got a flat tire?

Obviously as good non lying yidden they have a spare tire at home that they punctured so whenever this happens they can say "we got a flat tire"

I would think most people have gotten a flat at least once in their lives without trying.
