We didn't ask, but I assume it's because of COVID related staff shortages. We could have kept the original price, but would have lost yet another day. In the end we got reductions on the car rental and hotel, so it almost evened out. This was supposed to be a mini vacation anyway, celebrating Cleta's retirement. We also plan to move and it will be the last time using EWR, which always worked well for us.

I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.
