They just rang me and want to change my flight home. My flight was originally LAX to Melbourne and now they want to move the fight up 10 mins early but fly from LAX to Sydney then onto Melbourne.

NOT HAPPY. The last thing I want is a stop over after a 12.5+ flight. Wankers, Wankers, Wankers!

It sucks balls bigtime. It means we fly from LAX to Sydney, they let the Sydney passengers disembark while the rest of us sit in the plane for an hour (assuming there are no light bulbs in the cockpit that need replacing) and then have to fly to Melbourne (about another 1.5-2 Hour flight).

So it's going to add at least 2.5-3 Hours to a very long day as it is and not to mention the time zone difference. We leave on Jan 26 2009 but don't make it back to Melbourne until Jan 28 2009 because of the international date line.

I really about this.

I'm going to drink myself stupid on the way back at Uniteds expense.

Then again you could live in a time when it takes a week to get there by boat.

Being a business traveler and having been stuck on a plane sitting on the ground for over eight hours I have learned when one travels by air one has to resign oneself to many, many circumstances beyond ones control.

I suggest you suck it up, deal with it and be thankful you can get from LA to Australia in less than 24 hours (unless of course you know of a way to get there faster?)
