” I have ever ordered aviation ticket to peruvian, a trip which I dream of in my life. I get good from delta, 808 dollar per person, from depart until go home to Washington. Three-day after I pay, I jesy realized that i ordered ticket on Sunday midnight and not Saturday midnight. That midnight time makes me confused. I call delta, and request considerably so that time for go home ticket can be changed. They informed, the time change would make us pay 500 dollar per person. ” –emd
