My husband and I were given a cruise to Alaska and it was booked with Vacations To Go. Since the cruise was booked with Vacations To Go, we decided to book our flight with them also. We live in Charleston, SC and had to travel to Seattle, WA to board the cruise ship. Well at sea, we learned of Hurricane Dorian. Our flights back took us from Seattle to Dallas/Ft. Worth and from Dallas/Ft. Worth to Miami, FL and from Miami, FL to Charleston, SC. We learned of the hurricane on Thursday and did not have any cell service or internet on the ship, so the ship allowed us to use their phone. I called Vacations To Go and the lady who booked our stuff was not there so I was switched to "a supervisor". I explained the situation and that we needed an early flight back to get home and then to get prepared for the hurricane, I take care of my disabled sister and had someone with her and needed to get back to her also. He informed me the hurricane was hitting North of Miami, what is North of Miami... Charleston, and that he would have to charge us an extra $800.00 a piece. He was not concerned and as a matter of fact acted annoyed. Having lived through many hurricanes, including Hugo, I know how serious this situation is and how long it can take to prepare. After a sleepless night and much worrying, when we exited the ship, we went straight to the airport. American Airlines then went out of their way to get us home and did not charge us a dime! They were awesome and I am so thankful to them because FL closed all airports to incoming flights Thursday afternoon. We would not have made it home if it were not for American Airlines. I would never use Vacations To Go again. When traveling, you need someone you can count in case of an emergency such as this.
