Flight Change

So we received an "urgent" call from the airline today: the flight from Istanbul to Cairo has been cancelled and all other flights are completely booked through the next day. So we start all over again trying to find award seats to get us to Cairo on approximately the same timeline. We had already booked the rest of our trip based on that timeline so we were not as flexible. Fortunately, the airline understood that and was able to get us on another flight going through Frankfurt. Bit of a bummer... I liked the idea of going through Istanbul. Ah well, we'll save that for another trip.
