Horrible experience while checking in this morning at the Knoxville airport.  According to my Orbitz confirmation email, I would leave TYS at 11:56 am and fly to O'Hare.  6 hour layover there, then fly to London and arrive in London at 8:25 am.  Much to my dismay, my ticket was never issued and the flight to Chicago at 11:56 was full.  So began my 2 hour stint at the check-in desk..

The lady was super helpful and looked at every option to get me to London, but every flight was full.  The only thing she could see was leaving Knoxville at 6pm, layover in Chicago, and arriving in London at 4:50 pm.  Way too late since me and Cooper have a full day planned.

While the lady is trying to find a way to get me to London, I am on the phone with Oribtz.  Actually, on hold for most of the time...  Then they connected me to Lufathsa airlines.  A helpful representative booked a flight leaving TYS at 1:41, then flying to Newark, NJ, then to Frankfurt, then to London!  I'll arrive in London at 9 am tomorrow (June 30).  YAY!!  Now I sitting at TYS waiting to board my first plane.  Apparently there are storms in Newark now, so I hope I don't run in to any problems there...
