We did not use FF miles, but did have horrible experience with changing dates. We bought tickets through a travel agency for the dates we were to travel. Just before we left for our court trip, Nina Hilt was murdered. The judge for Nina Hilt's adoption was the same judge we were to go before. Since we are adopting independently we had to meet with the judge to present our papers. Needless to say the judge was not very happy with Americans and she did not accept our papers, so we had to come home 3 weeks early. When we called Delta they said all flights were sold out until Aug 12. This was on July 24; we went to the Delta office the next day and they told us the seats for the internet fare were sold out, but we could buy new tickets for $2300 each. We were resigned to pay this, until my husband asked if Delta had military rates, and we were able to buy tickets for $1300 each. Now we have return tickets from Moscow (from the first set of tickets) that are only good until Oct. 15 and tickets to Moscow that are changeable until January 25. Never would I have thought that this would happen, our girls should have been home a month now and here we are waiting for another court date and another trip. Just beware that anything can happen, every flight we have been on to and from Moscow (three trips) has been full.
