When you purchase a plane ticket at the cheapest rate it is no exchange and no change without a fee. I do this all of the time. That ticket and your exchange of money establishes the terms of a contract. Now you want to cancell and not even change the contract that you agreeded to. Why does Delta stink? Live up to the terms of the agreement and there is no problem. To the best of my knowledge all airlines have the same procedures.

Yeah you may do it all the time, but there's not a worldwide crisis involving terrorist bombing of airplanes all the time. Think for, oh maybe, a second or two, and see the uniqueness of the situation. Are there never circumstances that should alter an agreement? If ever there are, this has to rank right up there with any others. Don Bosco Prep students, in Northern New Jersey are probably ALL within one degree of separation of someone who was killed in the blast. A lesson in courage doesn't overrule scared children, scared parents or scared school officials who don't want these kids to fly right now. To R.N. Ball, when you got your drivers license, isn't there an implied contract to obey ALL of the traffic laws? Think how pissed you'd be for getting a ticket for going 66 in a 65mph zone. Sorry, you broke the terms of your contract--as well as breaking the law. For full disclosure, I am the assistant coach at Don Bosco Prep. /Drew
