Hi Michael, I thought, as a cranky old white guy might be prone to think, that I *did* know where to buy them - the airport. I went through their ticket buying site which wanted to know everything about me and my plans. After all of that it would fail at the last step and put me back to the first page. I did a couple of attempts with them, always at increasing prices for the same seat. Getting progressively more cranky, progressively older and possibly progressively more white, I then tried expedia. Same crapola, and always at increasing prices. You would try the best price, go through the process and at the very end be told that the seat was sold out. Finally, I tried travelocity which completed the process and debited my account. Now it looks like they either will not deliver at all or may not deliver what they promised. They have already charged for a 2 day ticket delivery that they did not meet, we will see if they screw me in other ways. The Better Business Bureau in Sarasota is composed of all the biggest crooks in town banded together to swear that they are all honest. Perhaps they will occasionally admit that they may have had a "misunderstanding" with a client or customer. The BBB charged $25 the last time I put in a complaint. The BBB then exonerated the perp who was subsequently indicted and after endless 5th amendment pleadings fined and jailed. Eventually the state got me a refund, even before the sleazy SOB hit the slammer. Same idea with the "Chamber of Commerce". Whenever any shady operator sets up a scam disguised as a "business" his/her first step is to "join" both the BBB and the Chamber of Commerce. Since the already paid for government has a bureau for every letter of the alphabet, I figured I may as well start there. >>> De-regulation doesn't work.
