I only recently booked airline tickets through the airline to attend a scholarship competition at a school son is most interested in. I was lucky enough to get fairly inexpensive tickets, but with the three of us, up and back, it totalled 600 bucks.

Son just received an invitation to interview for a full scholarship to a school he has never visited, but has accepted him with a half scholarship already. Son really wants to attend this interview and visit this school, and I’m wondering if I’m going to have to eat 600 bucks worth of airline tickets.

I’ve tried called the airline, but they can’t answer because they’re tied up with the weather problems. I’ve sent them an email and hope to hear back soon. I’ve already researched flights, and the difference in price for the six tickets would be another 600, but that’s fine if they let me apply the cost of the old tickets to the others.

Has anybody else had any experience with this? Any words of advice?
