Isn’t it crazy how some people would stoop so low for a couple bucks?

What would you do if a relative bought you a plane ticket for a family trip, but due to a health issue, you weren’t able to travel?

Would you offer to pay the relative back?

In this story, one woman found herself in this situation, and she was willing to pay the cancellation fee for the plane ticket.

Her relatives don’t think that’s good enough.

Let’s read the whole story.

AITA for only paying the $99 cancellation fee instead of the $150 my niece asked for?

My niece surprised me with a plane ticket to join her and my sister on a birthday trip.

Two weeks before the trip, I came down with a kidney infection and had to cancel (I have an autoimmune disease, so it’s been kicking me).

This is where it gets bad!

I told my niece I would cover the $99 cancellation fee, and she agreed at the time.

When it came time to pay, she asked for $150 instead, saying she couldn’t transfer my ticket to the person she wanted to take in my place.

UH OH…

I told her I would only cover the $99 since that was the actual cancellation cost, and that I didn’t think it was fair to pay extra to offset the cost of a new ticket for someone else.

Now my niece and sister are upset, saying I “messed them over” by canceling.

They also point out that I had offered to take my niece out for a birthday dinner, and they went ahead and booked an expensive seafood place without checking with me.

That’s INSANE!

The other meals they assigned me to cover were also sit-down restaurants, while their turns were things like grabbing breakfast or food trucks.

I feel like I’ve been reasonable by paying the actual cancellation fee, but they see me as the problem. AITA?

It sounds like they’re trying to take advantage of her.

Let’s find out what the Reddit community thinks about this one.
