I found out ticket prices for airlines are going up on Saturday. So I quick called Continental to buy my tickets now for my November vacation before the increase takes effect. Not so says the ticket agent. The price increase is already firm so since you will be flying after Saturday, you will have to pay the new rate. It's irrelevent that I'm buying the tickets now. After some futile argument that the agent doesn't know what he's doing, I got the old rate at another airline. But I can't believe what just happened. I can just imagine the chaos that would ensue if every business was run this way. Robert
