Let me add two points: - always try to include a Saturday night in your trip. Business Travelers rarely fly over the weekend, so airlines will charge more for flights that don't include a Saturday night. - you can almost always cancel a flight within 24 hours of booking for no penalty. Just call the airline, tell them you made a mistake and they often will give you a chance to back out (this might have been a good option for him!) Thanks again!
