Professional traveler here. While every person affected has a unique situation, for those of us that travel A LOT (I have already secured A+ Preferred for 2020 and Companion Level will be earned soon.), complaining about missing a direct flight and having to make a connection seems petty.

FIRST: Get on the app and see what’s available, take screenshots of your preferred itineraries. SECOND: Call the 800 number and speak to a friendly agent. BE NICE! They will appreciate that you’ve done some researching in advance. Trust me. PRO TIP: If you are kind and accommodating, the agent has the ability to waive fees!
