Sometimes travel plans get disrupted—even when you’re a travel agent! ✈️
Our cruise ended yesterday morning, and we originally had a nonstop flight home scheduled for 1:30 p.m. That flight was later changed to an 11:50 a.m. itinerary with a stop in Indianapolis.
Because we’re still traveling with my mom, who uses a wheelchair, a connection wasn’t ideal. I managed to move us to the final nonstop flight of the day at 6:30 p.m. The only real downside was spending about six hours at the airport.
Then, when we tried to check in, we discovered that we were being bumped from that flight. We were offered a free change to any other available flight without paying a fare difference—but there were no more nonstop options that day.
So…we pivoted!
Our prearranged shuttle from the cruise port was already taking us to the airport, so I quickly booked a rental car for pickup there. I also secured a two-bedroom resort at Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek at no cost—not because I’m a travel agent, but because we’re timeshare owners.
The resort required a two-night stay, so instead of forcing a stressful connection or scrambling for another option, we turned the disruption into two extra days in Orlando. We’ll now fly home Sunday morning on an early nonstop flight, with no additional airfare.
Travel disruptions happen. Flights change. Ships arrive late. Connections are missed. The difference is having someone who can remain calm, evaluate the options and quickly find the best possible outcome.
Our delayed cruise debarkation also gave us a front-row seat to travelers scrambling—and, in some cases, panicking—as their plans unraveled. It reaffirmed why the service we provide matters so much.
