This trip had a tough start to say the least. After getting the time off of work, it was time to schedule the flights. I checked all the typical online booking sites. I selected the 12 flights to the trip and went to check out. I gave my card #, but it didn’t go through. I then wound up spending 9 hours in two days on the phone with Orbitz, with no luck.
I then talked to a travel agent at AAA. I gave him all the same flights and again it didn’t go through. He then found out that you can only book 8 legs of a flight onto one ticket. We then figured out the most economical way to split up the marathon of a trip. I called Orbitz back up, and booked the flights. The next step was packing a 50 lbs bag for the 12 flights, 5 stops, 3 climate changes and everything between a suit and boardshorts.
