ATA new policy

[LvsTnk]

Don't know if this will effect anyone but ATA has changed policy for flight adjustments.

Used to be if they changed your flight time you could move your flight. I think the time fame was just several minutes. Now they have to change your flight time by one hour.

I sure missed the boat on that one, policy changed the end of Sept.

Thanks for the update on that info..was thinking of coming back into MDW on Sun instead of Mon...but since the schedule only changed about 15 min. for flight I now know I won't be able to do that....

I am surprised the major carriers haven't discontinued this practice completely with all the other fees that they are now charging. While ATA's change can complicate things, one thing to remember, is ATA has simplified all their other fees, dropping the cost to change a ticket to 50.00 while everyone else is now charging 100.00. They have also simplified the excess baggage charges as well as no longer charging if you want to fly to stand by and take an earlier flight.. Which, from what I hear most of the other majors don't even allow anymore.

So while this cut is not great, in light of the changes the other airlines have made, it isn't all that bad....

I agree, just wanted to make people aware of the change.
