This show is my guilty pleasure but times have changed a lot. There was so much unwanted grabbing/touching from guys like Bill Martin, Mr. Penrose, and Cheryl's dad with Janet to name a few. Living in our world these days, those guys would be arrested for assault or battery in a heartbeat. Every time I see it, I get surprised because that is such a big deal nowadays.
I’m curious if this has ever happened to anyone else, because I’m still kind of wrapping my head around it.
I booked a trip back in February to San Juan Puerto Rico with a return flight that was supposed to leave late Tuesday night (basically midnight) and land early Wednesday morning. In my mind, that meant I had all of Tuesday to enjoy vacation.
At some point, the airline sent a schedule change. I’ll be honest—I saw the email, skimmed it, and didn’t fully clock what changed. It looked like a small time adjustment, not a big deal.
What I didn’t realize (and this is on me for not catching it) is that the flight had actually moved almost a full 24 hours earlier. So instead of leaving late Tuesday night into Wednesday, we were now leaving very early Tuesday morning… which basically cut out an entire day of the trip.
I didn’t put it together until we were already on vacation, which was not a fun realization!
Like I said, I totally own that I didn’t look closely enough—but I do think it would be really helpful if airlines (in this case, Frontier) more clearly called out when something isn’t just a time change, but actually a date change. Especially when the original trip spanned Tuesday (11:59 am) into Wednesday (land 5 am- pre-Daylight Savings Time), and the updated one became just Tuesday, 12:59 am. That’s a pretty big difference that’s easy to miss if you’re scanning quickly.
Anyway, it feels like an easy mistake to make, and maybe I’m not the only one. But since Frontier does tend to change its flight times, this is a warning to please double, triple, quadruple check these changes as they may not be super obvious.
