RE: United and Lemonade--Stranded in Chicago
Yeah expedia will always put the botched travel plans on the airlines to sort out. Ive been stranded in airports due to cancelled flights or missed connections but honestly, this is a common occurrence when travelling. Airline travel is a stress filled nightmare 70% of the time. Which is why i always choose a connection that leaves me at least three hours between flights because delays due to weather or aircraft malfunctions are so common. Expedia has nothing to do with what goes on in the airports so thats why they put responsibility on the airlines because they can (sometimes) actually do something about it. Flying blows. The airlines are usually who i rage out on because whatever happens with the planes isnt expedias fault.
I will do the same in the future. No connections without 3 or 4 hours between.
I’m still convinced this is an Expedia foulup, because in this case everything was fine with the flights. The problem was an issue with O’Hare that there’s simply no way Expedia couldn’t know about. They have a responsibility to their clients to factor these things into their itineraries.
Yeah that would be courteous of them to do so but at the same time when you book with expedia you choose your outgoing flight where it states your layover time between flights. How slow customs or security is going or how big the layout of the airport is, ultimately isnt expedias fault. They dont care in the end how new you are at air travel or if you dont know how big or busy the airport your going to is. I found with short layover times where i gotta go through customs and security, i usually call ahead and ask what the standard time through customs and all that nonsense is so i can see if ill make my flight or not. God forbid theres any other delays with the first flight getting there. It's a nightmare. Lol
