.NBCNewsBETTER: “The better the deal the shorter it's going to last,” said one expert. “When you find those really good deals it pays not to dilly-dally. It can disappear at any time.”
I learned a valuable lesson with my bargain ticket. I couldn't find the same fare on the airline site directly , so I booked through the app Hopper. I know enough to check the flight every couple of weeks to make sure nothing has gone sideways, and everything seemed fine. Then in the course of working on this story I logged into American to apply my frequent flier number to the trip.
Off I went to Hopper where I started with online chat, only to find it offline. Next, I called, only to get a recording that nobody was available. As any traveler in 2019 would do, I took to Twitter , then emailed customer service. A few hours later a helpful agent responded and got us on new, earlier flights that will let us make the connection .. It's worth spending a few minutes to search for an alternative, Mutzabaugh said. “Sometimes those sites get access to special fares.
“Some people enjoy the convenience of the process with [sites like] Expedia, Orbitz or Hopper,” he went on. “They can and will help you troubleshoot but there are situations when there's a schedule change the airline makes that does not push through to the travel agent site that can get lost in limbo and you show up for the flight that left an hour ago.”
The moral of this story is to keep an eye on your flights with the carrier themselves. The agent at Hopper told me with all thecausing schedule changes it may have been the end of August before I got the notice — and while she said they've have made sure we still got to Paris, I can imagine it may not have been on the least-bad option I was able to choose.
