Do I need to be at the airport or nearby or have already sorted out how I’m going to make that work?
I’m getting these OOBGS and even normal GS so late in the game that I can’t do it even if I wanted to. If I got the call 3-4 hours ago, I totally would have been able to make it work but I guess they gotta get through so many people before it gets to me.
Regardless of when the trip was scheduled to depart they have to award you the trip if you are promptly available. That’s loosely defined as 2 hours. If the trip departs sooner than that they will call and ask when you will arrive.
