They made us get off the new plane because now there was an issue with the fuel. No. I know, I know, I know. So at this point, they're like, yep, flights are definitely not happening. Go home, come back tomorrow.

I know. That's the worst part. It's not even the fact that two planes were canceled. It's that boarding and deplaning happened twice. Well, I guess technically three times when you consider my flight that I finally get on. So having to do that three times is just absolutely bonkers. Yeah.

Right. So at that point, I had the option to either take a refund or get automatically rebooked on another flight. And here's really where I want to circle back to the actual advice. So spoiler, I chose to get rebooked. A lot of people though, didn't take that option. They said, I've had it with United. I already, you know, had two canceled flights. Who's to say there's not going to be a third.

I'm just going to book with another airline. And yes, I am sympathetic to that, but here's where it's important to not let those emotions get the best for you. And that's because flights typically are ultra expensive when booked at the last minute.

So the flight that I had booked up front was basically a $300 flight from Denver to SFO. That's because I booked it three months out. But if you book it that day, you're looking at $1,000 flight. So United will refund the money that you paid up front, $300 in this case, but they won't give you $1,000 for a flight on another airline.

No, this has not happened to me either. So United did allow me to rebook on any flight between Denver and even nearby airports like Colorado Springs back to San Francisco, as well as San Francisco's nearby airports like San Jose. Okay. Had I tried to just book a United flight normally that day, it would have been $800, $1,000.

But going through United didn't actually cost any more than what I had originally paid for the airfare. I ended up booking a flight the next day.
