My flight SK931 from Copenhagen (CPH) to Los Angeles (LAX) was cancelled, and I’m trying to understand what rebooking options I have. Specifically, I’m wondering whether I can ask to be rebooked the next day to a different destination—for example Las Vegas on another airline like Delta or Air France—instead of the original destination (LAX).
From what others have shared, you can always ask the airline about alternative options, but standard practice is that rebooking is offered to the same final destination as originally booked, under comparable conditions and at no extra cost when the cancellation is the airline’s fault.
It’s generally very unlikely that an airline will automatically change your destination to somewhere entirely different (like LAS instead of LAX) without repricing your ticket. Some passengers note that you might be able to pay the fare difference or ask about partner flights, but this is at the airline’s discretion and subject to availability.
Under EU passenger rights rules (which apply when departing from an EU airport), airlines must offer you a choice of rerouting to the same destination at the earliest opportunity or a refund if you prefer not to travel.
