On Thanksgiving leave my son who is a MARINE was told to make travel arrangements for Christmas leave which was to start Dec 22 at 8am. We did this on Nov. 22 with Orbitz.com to fly U.S. Airways Express from Jacksonville, N Carolina to Cleveland Ohio $463.00. Well on Sun Nov 25 after 4pm I notified by text my son in a panic his SGT changed leave to Sat Dec 23 at 8am.
We had to change his flight to the next day which was another $260.00. I called Orbitz and U S airways and explained to them this was not his fault it was the Marines and of course you can't fight them.
Orbitz said it was U S Airways rules and regulations they follow I need to call them. I did and U S Airways said it was Orbitz rules and regulations. Of course it is no ones fault. Itold them my son joined the Marines (he's 19) to protect us and he does not make alot of money. They said they could not change the rules of the airlines. So there are approx. 460 Marines at Camp Geiger that are getting screwed for approx. $260.00 because their SGT changed their date for leave. These guys and gals serving our country and putting their lives on the line for all of our freedoms and look what these companies do to them. Screw them over. I can see if it were me a civilian that did this but this is one of OUR's not just mine. God bless our troops.
