For any appointees that have AFA issued plane tickets to COS tomorrow:
CONFIRM YOUR RESERVATION TODAY! And bring your 'Special Order' paper with you.
My DD had her AFA reservation, itinerary in hand and I booked the same flights for me to go with her. That was all done May 5th. Got to the airport today at 7am, checked me in, sent off my baggage, and SURPRISE, her reservation was cancelled. By AFA or Windgate (their travel agency that booked the ticket), we don't know, but let's just say the trip did not work out as planned. Here I am in COS, looking at those beautiful mountains , and my DD is still travelling. It was a major hassle - I flew without her all the way, finally they booked her on different flights, after we faxed her 'orders' to the travel agency and they confirmed her appointment. Have you ever tried to fax something from an airport? The USO office helped her, only by showing her orders, because of course, no military ID's have been issued yet. The travel agency offered no explaination and our only guess is that they cancelled hers when I (independently) booked mine - same last name, picked the next seat even.
Okay, so hurdle #1 is overcome in 2 more hours. Bring on hurdle #2.
Good luck and safe travels everyone!
