Aloha means Hello and Goodbye, right?


A momentary time-out for a small rant (or whatever it is), if you will.....

ATA is bankrupt. No warning, just bankrupt. Lots of passengers are stranded to Hawaii and at least that's not us, but our honeymoon could be out the window along with our $1000 for airline tickets. We used mostly miles and some cash and now; no miles, cash is gone and no tickets to Hawaii.

What bothers me is how they handle it. I guess when you go bankrupt no one stays around to close things down. Phones aren't answered, refunds won't be given and no one tries to make other arrangements on any other airlines. How could they possibly, no money, right? Maybe poor Mastercard, innocent 3rd party Mastercard, will refund our money? They are our only hope for a trip still. I hope they come through, but there's no real reason why they should, except that Craig is good and nice and charges everything and pays it off on time. oh wait, they probably hate that, huh? no interest accumulation...

It sucks that we possibly might lose our $1k. Hopefully things will work out. If not, at least we will have a beautiful wedding surrounded by all of our great family and friends.
