You're very welcome! I hope it works, I don't see any reason why not. As your trip is so close, and you've now got your passports to refer to, you probably wouldn't need to add the expense of refundable tickets. Especially if you book with both of you present (2 sets of eyes to proofread). I understand though, after the stress of this, you are so kicking yourselves that you hadn't bought refundable tickets the first time around. If you take your passports to the airport and they are able to book new tickets at the counter there, it would be on them to enter your names correctly, and you could confirm yourselves on the spot. I don't know if it's even possible to book flights in person anymore?!
Please let us know how it turns out!
For sure we will never go for the non-refundable. We are headed out now to I'll post back with the results.
The good news is I just got back from the short drive to the airport and there was no problem what-so-ever with the changes. There were no lines and no one but us and the people more than happy to take care of us. We spent more time talking to the wonderful US Airways staff than it took to drive there and have them update our tickets. My wife is herself again. She's Irie again.
Woohoo! It didn't cost anything? You didn't have to cancel & rebook?
No fee, no penalty, no problem. My wife just can't believe how much fun everything actually turned out to be. It was a beautiful sunny day. The ride was very relaxing and nothing could have been better about the whole incident. That's my take anyway. We had a great talk with the lady at the counter about exactly what to expect. We can't take water but can freeze it and drink it as it melts. So funny. We can take peanut butter but not allowed to take jelly. She gave us the whole lowdown. I actually wanted a do over it was so cool. Just don't do anything over the phone, that's all I say. Makes me feel good about real people again.
Enjoy your vacation! So glad all the worry and anxiety is over and you had the best possible outcome.
