Hey all, hoping someone here knows how to deal with an issue that's popped up for me.
I made my booking earlier this month and now checking it on the US Airways site it says there's an issue. "Your reservation containing flight number 174 departing from Sydney, Australia on March 24, 2014 has been changed." This is Air China 174 specifically, and a quick Google suggests that the flight now departs at 8PM instead of 9PM as it states on the booking. Is this an issue? The reservation page also says to "Please contact us as soon as possible to book new flights. Call us at 800-428-4322" but I'm not sure if this is really necessary and I'm concerned it could lead to a fee for changing my booking. What should I do? Just call up tonight and see what they say?
It should be a simple case of calling up and accepting the changes if you are happy with them, unless you want to actually change the flights where often this can be used as 'a get out of jail free card' with regard to the waiving of fees.
Unfortunately this seems to happen a lot with daylight savings. I know that Thai for instance are useless at having the correct times in the forward timetable even though daylight savings dates are known well in advance. So if you have booked their flights before they have updated the timetable all your flights have changed by an hour on departure time. Have had some close run ins with this before.
