So I just recently booked a flight + hotel package to Miami. (yay!) But I realized all too late the flight I booked touches down at 8:41am and check in at the hotel doesn't start until 3:00pm. (doh!) I already tried to change the flight but it would've cost me hundreds more dollars to do so and I don't feel like shelling out more money to amend my mishap. Does anyone have any advice for what I could do in the intervening six hours?
i assume you're not traveling there just for the hotel. do whatever attracted you to miami in the first place. or do something else; i'm sure there's tons of stuff to do in miami. also, use a better airline. i had to change the time of a flight a few months ago and it cost me $50.
Not necessarily dependant on the airline although policies vary. It depends more on the price difference between the old and the new ticket.
