FlightChange

Had one of those travel moments today where everything almost worked out… but didn’t. I was walking around DTW Terminal B with about a 2 hour layover when I noticed a delayed Delta flight going to the same final destination as mine. Thought I might get lucky and get home...

With everything going on in the Middle East lately, my wife and I decided to reroute our reward flights to Europe in September. Originally we were flying MEL > DXB > MAD and returning via Oman. We changed it to go MEL > LAX > Europe and back via Bangkok to avoid the Middle East....

Just got a pretty brutal schedule change from Alaska and trying to figure out what my options are. We booked a nonstop flight to Puerto Vallarta for a family trip in a couple weeks. It was supposed to be about a 5 hour direct flight. Now Alaska emailed saying the flight changed...

Had a frustrating situation with Aer Lingus recently. Our original itinerary was JFK → Manchester → Dublin with a 7:00 pm departure. While we were driving to the airport we suddenly got an email saying we were moved to a 5:00 pm direct flight to Dublin. We never requested that...

Booked a one way Wizz Air flight for April 15 but they just changed it to April 16. It’s a leisure trip so the extra night isn’t a huge problem, but it does mean paying for another night of accommodation and other expenses. Before accepting the change, trying to figure out if...

Booked a Ryanair flight and recently dealt with the new rule where boarding passes are only available through the app. Downloaded it and everything was fine at first. About a month later the airline changed the flight time. After that the boarding pass in the app became locked...

Ran into an expensive lesson with Frontier despite having Platinum Elite status and the Frontier credit card, which includes no change or cancel fees. After changing a flight to a cheaper fare, the difference in price showed up as something called “Residual Value.” Instead of...

So Southwest switched to assigned seating on Jan 27, 2026 and wow… what a miracle. All those mysterious preboard miracles we used to see? Gone. The folks who used to limp to the gate like they’d run a marathon at 5am are suddenly walking just fine. The giant crowds forming human...

We flew Southwest exclusively for 15 years. Love Field is 10 minutes from our house and it was just easy. When my kids were babies and toddlers, I never stressed about seating. We always got a row together. As they got older, I’d pay for EarlyBird just to be safe. No bag fees...

Saw this and it would have stressed me out too. Person got an email offering a credit if they switched flights. Ignored it. A few hours later, another email saying “thanks for changing your flight” with a $20 voucher. Flight moved from Friday evening to Thursday at 7am. They...

I bought a round trip from Paris to São Paulo last year in Student Economy. Outbound was July 15, 2025 and return is March 5, 2026. From the start, my plan was to move the return to August 2026 since I wasn’t sure when I’d go back to France. Now when I try to change it, the...

They moved your departure from 18:50 to 10:30 six days before the trip. That’s not a small tweak. That completely wrecks your schedule, especially coming off a night shift and scrambling 80 km home just to shower and run back out. Then instead of addressing that, they reply...

Planning a trip to Gdansk in May and saw Wizz Air flies from there to Turku, which is perfect since my sister lives there. Normally it’s Helsinki and then extra travel, so this looked ideal. But I’ve been reading that Wizz changes flight dates and times quite a bit. We’d be in...

Booked flights through Booking.com. Airline changed the schedule and the new times didn’t work since the first leg would land after the connection had already departed. I contacted Booking.com support and they told me there was nothing they could do, but gave me a phone number...

Just got an email from Southwest with a “unique offer” to switch my flight in exchange for a travel credit. The catch? The only option is to move it two days earlier. And they don’t even say how much the credit is unless you click through. I’m not planning to change anything,...

Has this happened to anyone else? I had a flight booked for a wedding and purposely chose the timing to make the rehearsal dinner. Two days before departure I checked my itinerary and saw I was now arriving 6 hours later. Turns out Southwest had sent me a $30 flight credit offer...

Has anyone else experienced this? I was trying to move my evening flight to an early afternoon one the next day. The app initially showed a $50 difference. But it wouldn’t actually let me complete the change, so I went to chat support. While I was chatting, the price jumped from...

That’s brutal, especially on a premium transcon. If it was a true aircraft swap to a non-Mint aircraft, that explains the system auto-downgrade. JetBlue doesn’t have a ton of spare Mint-configured planes, so when they sub in a non-Mint bird on JFK/LAX type routes, it creates...

Just logged in and saw my LAX to JFK flight was moved an entire day later. No email, no text, nothing. I paid around $220 roundtrip. Asked for a refund, but now every return flight is over $400. I really can’t afford to just eat that difference when this wasn’t my fault. Has...

This feels like one of those “enjoy it quietly and don’t touch anything” situations. Iberia’s reissue logic can get weird when you mix cabins and then change a segment. Sometimes the system just reprices the remaining legs into the higher cabin to keep the fare consistent,...

Changed my Wizz flight date and paid the change fee without issue. A few days later, Wizz canceled the new flight entirely. Now they’re saying they’ll refund the ticket price, but not the change fee. They’ll also let me change to another date for free, but even if I move it back...
