The Rescheduling Game

During this pandemic, United Airlines has allowed customers to reschedule their flights without any penalty, and that's the game that I have been playing since March.

I usually travel four times a year to Mexico...  January / February, April, August, and October / November.  When I last returned from Mexico in February, shortly before the pandemic began in earnest, I already had my flight reservations for the April and August trips.  I had taken advantage of some good prices and had booked far in advance.  By late March it was obvious that my April trip was impossible, and I rescheduled it for the trip that I always take around the Day of the Dead with a departure date of October 14th.  My plans to be in Mexico for my birthday in August also collapsed.  That trip was rescheduled for winter of 2021.  

Yesterday I went to the United Airlines website and played the rescheduling game again.  My upcoming October / November reservations have been switched to April, 2021.  

I have doubts that my winter trip, beginning on January 12th, will occur.  However, I hope that by April the situation will have improved sufficiently, and that there will be a vaccine, so that I can finally return to Mexico.
