Burning question: Bait and switch? Have you priced an airfare or hotel recently, only to find that the price you’re quoted is “no longer available” when you get ready to buy? I want your bait-and-switch stories this week! Please send me a note and please don’t forget your full name, city and occupation.

I need your help! If you consider yourself politically active, and want to help the cause of consumer advocacy, please send me an email. Bonus points if you live in Florida.
