Creator's Key Takeaways
We received an email from the airline 30 minutes before we arrived at the airport saying our flight was on time.
We were going to do a little side trip for New Year's. We thought we were going to be able to go away and not tell anyone.
We had a cancellation for a hotel, Airbnb, whatever you describe it. We had a reservation in Italy.
The biggest piece of advice I can give anybody is when you're dealing with a cancellation, try your best to be kind and pleasant to the poor person that is trying to help rebook you.
