Well, That Happened...

I should have known something was wrong because the booking process was going so well.

I've looked up this flight so many times that I didn't think to look closely at the dates I had chosen when I finally got to the United website. I got through the entire process, including payment and confirmation, before realizing that I had booked the flight for the day before I was supposed to leave. This wouldn't have been too much of a problem if the flight didn't involve me getting to the Taipei airport in time for an 8:45am departure (which it does).

Commence nausea, complete body numbness, and feelings of doom. Luckily, I have been through this (not this particular situation, but with booking various modes of transportation) enough times to immediately spring into action. Upon receiving my confirmation e-mail from United, I clicked on the "Manage My Reservation" button, then cancelled my flight (first time ever doing this), then re-booked with the appropriate departure date, taking care to ensure that everything went correctly. Problem solved!
