Bison Fan Frisco Flight Fiasco - The Plane Truth
My sister finally returned from Frisco on Wednesday. Her blog posting demonstrates the plight many Bison fans experienced on their return flight to North Dakota.

How many other fans faced the same airline travel challenges?

Friend of mine didn't get out of Dallas until yesterday. I lucked out and was only delayed a few hours.

One of my brothers finally got home Thursday on AA. He was supposed to be on Frontier on Monday.

That's why I hate flying and I don't if I can help it. I've had more than a few experiences like that myself.

Agreed, however I will say if you don't have status and don't know the tricks to deal with crap like this, I can understand folks frustration and not wanting to fly.Originally Posted by MNLonghorn10
For those who do not read it, check out my travel hacking thread. I have touched on tricks for dealing with these situations on there in the past and I will give my #1 tip here again:
When things go south in a hurry, NEVER wait to have someone at a desk rebook you if a very long line. Get on the phone with the airline and if the wait there is also horrendous, if at a large airport, spring for a one day pass at the airline's lounge and get your help there. That $25-50 will be the best money you spend that day.

^^^THIS ^^^ GET ON THE PHONE!!! I have rebooked my connecting flight from the tarmac during flight delays.
We fly frequently and THIS is the best advice I could also give. Read TSCF's hacking tips, he knows!

Pretty much gotta go with this one when you are the mercy of the airlines to get back on schedule and it isnt going to happen.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

It can be $$$$$$ to get a car back to Fargo one way. I paid $80 for about 4 hours of usage one year because we left on American and ended up going some place else on Southwest and rather than fly back to Dallas to fly American we just went to the cities. $80 isn't that big of a deal, but people were saying they were WAY more.
