I departed from tabago on 7/20/08 the schedule departed time was 1:10pm,flight#1543 to pos trinidad schedule arrival time 1:45pm.Schedule departure time from trinidad to miami was 2:55pm,flight#1668. I had booked and purchased a roundtrip ticket through expedia.com

when I arrived at the airport in trinidad on 7/20/08 i was told by american airline ticket rep flight #1668 was gone and no more flights were leaving for that day because they were closed. I called american airline customer service was advised expedia fail to book the flights with proper connecting flight from tabago to pos trinidad and there was no way I could have made flight#1668 .

I called expedia customer service was advised by rep it was american airline failure because they should have caught the error when they downloaded the flight information into there system.

I spent $25.00 in a calling card and 4 hours on the phone in trinidad airport calling expedia (who booked the flight and was paid) asking for assistance to help me get back home to Florida. I was stranded at the airport in Trinidad!! expedia customer service rep told me they would not pay for a hotel night stay and I would have to purchase another airline ticket to get me back to Florida from Trinidad.

Therefore, I had pay out of pocket for hotel room and the next day i had to purchase another airline ticket to get me from Trinidad back to the state of Florida. then rent a car and drive myself home.

Never again will I use expedia!!!
