June 28 I booked a multi flt, smf to toronto on Air Canada (AC)... returning montreal to smf (United). on june 29 i received an email showing AC changed flights times +2hrs which wouldn't work with my schedules. the option to that leg was provided so i cancelled the flight.
Later the same day, I called Orbitz to confirm that it had been taken care of. It took 2 hours to get through to an agent. the agent 'Hassein' put me on hold for several minutes and claimed he had successfully cancelled [only]that lef of our flights, but I would not get my money back for 8 weeks! F.
Since then, i have spoken with agents two more occasions for hours at a time. Each say that they've cancelled the flight, each promising call backs to managers or 'elevated teams'. but so far no change is showing on that…
