I really need to be fair with Cheap-O-Air. I checked for the cheapest airfares to Cozumel for our July 4 trip on June 30th. I tried everything I could think of including Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, CheapTickets, Cheap Airfare, etc. All of them wanted $650 plus per person round trip. Only Cheap-O-Air gave a round trip air fare of $381. After the Albuquerque experience I was leery, but low and behold they came through like a champ. Even exceeded their own expectations when they gave me some warning that some of the tickets were not electronic and had to be mailed. After clearing this up the night before leaving, we had all-electronic tickets round trip. Arrived at DIA sleepy and Continental said because it was a holiday (July 4th) we could upgrade to first class for $75/per person/per segment. We took that deal and really enjoyed the flight through Houston.
The only issue we had with the travel on this trip was our plane out of Cozumel airport was delayed more than four (4) hours! The delay was Delta's fault, not Cheap-O-Airs. If you've ever been to Cozumel by plane, you know there is not much to do at the airport so the delay was boring, and given that I was sick for two (2) days with stomach cramps etc., I was miserable. Our connecting Frontier flight out of Atlanta left two hours before we arrived. Delta in COZ told us that they would put us up for the night in Atlanta. However, when we went through customs and checked with Delta in Atlanta, they told us we had 15 minutes to catch our Delta flight to Denver. Rushing through the Atlanta airport we made the flight and a nice lady even gave me her isle seat. By this time I was feeling REALLY sick and developed shivers with chattering teeth. My wife showed her concern by demanding that I stop shaking because it was annoying her. Welcome to 37 years of marriage.
