Tap today seems like your best option. AA just has saver j on the 12:15 flight. Don't think you'll be able to get that... Didn't check ba..

Did you book the flights under the same reservation? If so, TAP should accommodate.

Z is definitely in the lowest mileage earning level

Orbits had no info on luggage cost or that it would cost me any money.. I even checked when I booked and it said info not available. I assumed one bag free. Bag 2 $50 + ooverweight.

Can I charge back?! That's over $350 I paid

Ergel · « **Reply #10 on:** June 07, 2018, 02:57:00 AM »

Why would you be about to charge back?

chevron · « **Reply #11 on:** June 07, 2018, 04:04:56 AM »

On orbits it said baggage fees may apply. When I clicked more info, it said not available. Doesn't orbits need to disclose this?!?! I was beyond shocked at 0 free checked bags and 100 Euro a bag. No where was it disclosed that this was z lite fare with exorbitant fees?!?

Ergel · « **Reply #12 on:** June 07, 2018, 04:42:31 AM »

Seems like you didn't do enough research. There is no way you will win a dispute.

Next time book your cash tickets with a travel agent who may be able to help you in the event you oversleep and miss your flight

Now air Europa said my connecting flight to Madrid is late, so they put me on Iberia getting to Miami 1 hour and 35 minutes later.. Refused any baggage refunds or anything vile scumbags and I'm so effing hungry!!

I did research, no where does orbits indicate the fare class, that's a dishonest and scammy part on orbits end and how are there no laws requiring them to disclose this?

I did not oversleep and I rarely miss flights where I don't check luggage. I'm very bad at calculating time.. If it says it's 20 min to airport I give myself 30.. But when uber takes 15 not 5 min to show and the trip takes 35 minutes...

I legit bought a second ticket, I'm not whining there.. Rather that they whacked Me with the luggage fees and now they bounce Me to another airline which has Me get Home at 8:20 or 1 hour 35 minutes later and I'm effing pissed to have to rejoin this line to Iberia counter which Is longer than Sunday rebbe dollar line (pre gimmel tamuz obviously)

It says the fare class when you click show more details. It doesn't say the baggage fee which is poor on their part, but I don't think that's enough for you to win a dispute.

Why did you stay 20 minutes from the airport on an overnight stopover?

Thst was a poor decision on my part. Short layover (13.5 hours) wanted to see a little of old lisbon.

#1 EL AL was late, arrived at 10pm not 9, #2 they refused to send my luggage direct and check me in.. so I had to pick up luggage, schlep to the luggage locker, uber didnt work then for some crazy reason, it kept trying to call me a taxi which failed.. as crazy as it sounds I had no euro's, cc and USD cash.. no ATM, so I tried flagging taxi's, none took CC, went to change dollars but closed.

At this time it was 11p (1am in israel) I was zonked, went to tourist counter, they offered for 24 euro to give me a taxi voucher (RIPOFF) ok wtf I went..

Crashed in bed, woke 6:50?am and like an entitled brat I decided to take in some sights, flight was 10:35 am, whats the big deal..but first uber made me update CC, frst driver call didnt go, second driver took 15 not 5 min to come.. he took a bad route that was traffic clogged, I think because it was surge fare 2x??

Then getting suitcases from storage in arrivals.. schlep to departures etc.. all this time I tried to check in online and only got errors

With bags in and a boarding pass, i'd have 100% made flight. I am pissed sure, tap are douches, but I took the blame. Its orbits and air europa im mad at.

Orbits shows this:

Bag fees
Estimated baggage fees charged by Air Europa (Please confirm with airline)
Carry on:    No info
1st checked bag:    No info
2nd checked bag:    No info
Baggage Information:    Air Europa

I dont see fare class when booking, clicking the link https://www.aireuropa.com/en/flights/baggage gives me some error

p.s. the wifi at LIS is 56k speed, when checking out I uncheked protect my trip, it removed it from list but kept the 35$ more.. I tried refreshing, no luck, so I just booked assuming I woud pay just airfare but they included trip protection, I emailed to cancel they told me to call ugh.. wondering maybe the flip for air europa to iberia entitles me to any insurance or naw ?

End of day, I hate orbits
