Too good to Be TRUE!
Well, I thought this would have been a great idea, you see I'm retired and I've always wanted to do a flying vacation - especially when I saw where True Blue flew. They really go to a lot of nice places - especially some great international ones, like those island in the Caribbean, Cancun, and also Costa Rica, Columbia and Aruba - beautiful places to visit and tour.
But if you read the fine print, international taxes and fees aren't included, only domestic. Well I thought that still isn't that bad, then they said you had to make your own reservations at least three days ahead of time, you just couldn't show up to see if they had an open seat. And we're so darn close to that time period already.
So I thought I'd take a look at a proposed trip that I would take - I'd see if there were any available seats left on the trips that I wanted - places that I would have liked to go, and the times that I wanted - and guess what I kept getting -
"THERE ARE NO FLIGHTS AVAILABLE"
Over and over - "THERE ARE NO FLIGHTS AVAILABLE"
and over and over - "THERE ARE NO FLIGHTS AVAILABLE"
and again and again: "THERE ARE NO FLIGHTS AVAILABLE"
it was downright frustrating!!!
And aggravating. "THERE ARE NO FLIGHTS AVAILABLE"
I kept searching and searching - dates flew by quicker then my dog chasing a chipmunk in the backyard - but I kept getting that dreaded red message - "THERE ARE NO FLIGHTS AVAILABLE"
What was going on?
Week after week I kept changing my dates, day after day. Finally I was into mid-October. And things got a bit brighter, I finally got to a Sunday, October 17th I think it was, and they said they had an open flight. Hooray! but wait, the deal ended on October 7th. That does me no good.
So I switched my dates around. Changed my travel plans and tried again. And Guess what?
Hey, you're absolutely correct, I got: "THERE ARE NO FLIGHTS AVAILABLE"
So, True Blue is too good to be TRUE!
That is unless you want to visit their armpits of the areas they fly to; face it, you're not going to get any flights to their choicest locations. They were gone weeks, if not months ago.
This deal will get you to back alleys of the southwest, armpits of the midwest, earwax caves of the northeast, and those scenic dreaded nostrils of the northwest. That's about it. Forget about America's beauty places, forget about the caribbean, forget about the jewels of Central America. Why? "THERE ARE NO FLIGHTS AVAILABLE"
