Hopper is selling me business or first class for a price that is way too low to be that. It seems from the seat selection that it is really premium economy. No point booking it and then having them change it to real business right?

Seems LGA has major delays...WN flights to MDW all delayed, DL flights to CVG delayed or cancelled

Is this because of impending possible thunderstorms in LGA?

Could try a DOT complaint if it says business.
Route/date?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

What's up with airlines blaming all their failed opps on weather?

Any bad weather around AA2508 yesterday evening DFW-DTW?

The aircraft was there. Cabin crew were there. Flight crew weren't there. How is that weather?

Spirit
FLL - LGA 4 pm today   Was cancelled.
I hope my kids are able to get here.
I know: https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=100670.msg2044085#msg2044085
But booking at the airport made tickets for the whole family super cheap. 
Except if they can't come.  And they have no food prepared or even shopped.  And I'll miss them terribly.

About to book JetBlue flights.

I can book either with true blue points or with Chase UR points (via Sapphire Preferred x1.25) for roughly the same amount.
Is there any benefit booking with one over the other? Will booking with Chase give any added travel protection?

AA switched my paid ticket departing TLV (premium economy) due to scheduling issues.

When I called them, the rep offered to switch me to another flight within 24 hours from original departure time at no cost. The catch is that I need to pick a flight that has premium economy availability, and all flights with stopover in NYC are sold out in that cabin class.

Is this true or should i keep HUCA? i offered to be downgraded to regular economy so i have more choices but was rebuffed unless i pay the fare difference.

HUCA. Their standard schedule change policy allows you to downgrade cabin.

you're right. However, they will charge me the $3000 fare difference as flight change was 15min PLUS a different stopover city.

Fare difference should only be for voluntary change (either you choosing to change on your own, or if schedule change, and the new flights you want don't fit within their "standard schedule change policy").
