flight

I booked our flight for our cruise back in December - got a great deal - today I got an email saying they have changed our return flight time from 7 pm to 4 pm. We return from our cruise on a Fri - planned to do Universal that day and go to IOA on Sat to see WWoHP and then the rest of the park and leave the park around 3:30 to fly out at 7 pm. Now we will have to leave by 12:30. Which even with the extra hour in the morning - gives us 4.5 hrs at the park.

Doesn't seem an airline should be able to back up your flight 3 hours.

My only option is to try to get them to put us on a Sun morning flight and stay an extra night but that will cost $100 and we would have to change hotels (we are staying Fri night at Royal Pacific and certainly cant afford 2 nights there).

Should I try to switch flights or just stick with 4.5 hrs at Universal?

Sorry to hear about your flight. Have you talked with the airline? Maybe they have a later flight? I would look on the internet to see what they show available and go from there. Good luck!

My airline changed the time of my flight to 3 hours earlier. I looked online found a later flight that evening. When I called to change to the later time I was told there would be a $100 so I explained to the customer service rep that my vacation would be cut short by 3 hours because of the airline changed my flight time she said she would see what she could do. They ended up waiving the fee. You should call customer service and even if you have to change to the next day ask them to waive the $100 since it wasn't your choice to change times.

Thanks everyone. I checked for later flights and this airline didnt have any. I am leaning towards changing to Sun am - and am hoping they will let us switch our departure flight too (currently it is 7 am) - if we can get it later then a friend can pick us up and drop us off at our home airport and thus we will save the $100 on parking which will cover the extra night of the hotel Lots of moving things around....now just cross your fingers the airline will switch us without a charge.

and when I googled the issue - some people were saying there time changed more than once - uckkk,..


Thanks again!!
