    Anyways no matter how many times I told her she needed to do it herself and showed her how to use the system, she'd always wait until the last minute to get anything done and book her flights.

    Finally I had enough and figured this girl is never going to do this herself and I will always be stuck taking care of it last minute.

    algy888 Man, that must have been fun to commiserate with her each time. "Wow! That sounds rough. I can relate, the last time I flew they ran out of extra towels at the Marriott pool and I had to wait 5 minutes just standing there dripping wet."

    price. I even went as far as to research where the hotel was and read the reviews. The lower the rating the better.

    ItsCoolImWithTheBand OP I did. Mostly for her to come back and hear her complaints. I made a game out of it. How awful can I make this trip at the lowest possible

    MLiOne I love your effort! I'm a retired officer and I would never expect my sailors to book my travel.

    bostondana2 Reminds me of a friend who was travelling with his boss. His boss told him to book the cheapest flight for himself (the boss) while my friend was booking his own flight. Needless to say, the boss had an 8hr+ layover in Seattle, while my friend, for $8 more, had an hour and a half layover in San Francisco...
