Always check all the details

While this wasn't a Disney trip, I'm still a planner.

Checked my flights (we fly in June) to see how crazy the prices are now (to see if we got a good price). Our flights departing was pushed back 20 minutes. No big whoop. Our connecting flight was moved over an hour back.

No notice at all.

Which airline?

 

[AmberHeartsDisney]

Most places won't tell you until that month if there is a change. I had one flight change a few times with no notice except the month I flew

How do you find out if the airline has changed anything about the flight?

I keep checking prices at Jetblue to see if they go down -but the flight #, departure times, etc always seem the same.

Just check your itinerary. There's usually an alert in red if something has changed.
Jetblue once called me to tell me of a flight change, once just changed a flight without warning and once CANCELLED a flight without alerting me at all...either by email or phone.

I used to love Jetblue..but stopped flying them since that incident.

I booked my Trip and airfare through Disney.
They sent an e-mail when my flights changed. The airline did not.
I also recived a letter via snail mail.
Just one more of the magical things disney does


I always call the airline and disney the night before we leave just to make sure nothing as been changed that i do not know about.

So far so good!

I've moved this thread to the Transportation board.

We usually use AirTran and they send a e-mail if they change the flight a few minutes either way.

We are usuing United in June, we booked in November and I checked a few weeks ago and they changed our flight leaving from 2:15 to 12:45, if I would not have checked we would have missed our flight.

I called and they said they try and call but we must have missed it, why wouldn't you e-mail me, the have my e-mail.

This also changed our layover to 3 1/2 hrs.

It is always best to do a non stop flight.

Considering you don't own the reservation, Disney does, they should be responsible, just as any TA would be.

Respectfully, there have to be a lot of YOUNG travelers here. Standard advice for airline passengers when I was growing up and even into my early adulthood (read: everything prior to the advent of the Internet) was call the airline to confirm your flight within forty-eight hours of departure.

NOBODY expected the airline to contact them - and this was back in the days when airlines actually provided service - city ticket offices, meals, magazines... things to make the passenger's overall flight experience more pleasant. But NO notification of flight changes or cancellations - and the airlines, and the passengers, had phones, even back in those days.

I had no idea airlines changed flights around so much!!

Thanks for the information how to check our flight. So far, so good.
