The Mercer County Lady Titans basketball team learned a simple life lesson this week: Delta Airlines is awesome, while Frontier Airlines suck.
The Lady Titans worked most of the year raising money for a trip to Phoenix and an appearance in the prestigious Nike Tournament of Champions.
According to an article by Larry Vaught:
For about a year, the team and parents had been raising money to make the trip. Sunday a group of 60 including players down to the middle school team, coaches and parents arrived in Cincinnati early to board a Frontier Airlines flight to Phoenix.
But guess what? Before the team was scheduled to depart, the flight was cancelled after coach Chris Souder said his group had been given “a lot of misinformation” about what was wrong.
Okay, things happen. However, when a Mercer representative was first in line to reschedule, she was told because of the size of the group she would have to go another location to make changes. Before she could get there and get answers, that same information spot that sent her away managed to find spots for others on today’s flight on a Monday flight. But the Titans were told sorry, nothing until Tuesday maybe. And if you want a refund, we’ll get it to you in 10 days or more.
Even though they had to forfeit their first game, the Lady Titans have been saved by Delta Airlines and travel agent Debbie Sebastian of Danville.
Thanks to Sebastian and Delta, the team will head to Phoenix early in the morning.

Some advice: NEVER book with Frontier Airlines.
