Schedule Changes and Rebooking
« on: June 23, 2015, 09:06:30 AM »
Not sure if there is really a thread like this, or even a specific place to ask my question.

My flights were changed as follows:


As there are not really many options for me fly out and make my connections, will KE rebook me on something else?

AA has a schedule change that makes my flight leave about 85 minutes later. They're telling me that they can only change it for a different flight the same day and not for a different day. My scheduled flight is for Tuesday and I want to change it to the following Monday.

Are the reps reliable in this situation? Is there a link to their policy somewhere?

Anyone have experience getting this done?

Thanks

But why would I ask about a revenue ticket in an award flights thread? Totally different rules.

Didn't know you we're talking about a revenue booking.

I had a flight with Delta that was changed by 20 minutes. I managed to convince the rep to let me fly out of a different airport  (the day before that flight) and he booked me the new ticket at no extra charge. You may have to HUCA but hopefully you'll find a rep who's more flexible.

Apologies accepted.

It's just that people who are usually very helpful are giving me answers that aren't relevant. Don't worry about it.

If you're referring to me, you didn't make any mention of it being a revenue ticket and considering the fact that 90% of the discussions on this forum relate to point tickets, I think it was a pretty safe assumption for me to make.

Those are just my thoughts, but feel free to continue being obnoxious to every person that tries to help you. I'm sure it'll get you real far around these parts.

Sorry. Had no intention of being obnoxious. In fact, I didn't even notice it.

Now back to my question if anyone knows...

Not sure if there is a better thread, but I have a similar question. My Delta paid international ticket had a schedule change with an extra leg and 30 minute connection added. Would I be able to change to an alliance airline for a better flight? (change to an Air France flight) anyone have any luck or experience with this? I am planning on several HUCAs.
