Schedule Change Alert
Pretty simple question I hope.
I have a flight which was booked by my girlfriend as a gift. It says that there has been a schedule change affecting my flight and has green tick marks next to each segment. Is there a way to tell how significant this change was (since I didn't book the original flights, I don't know)? If it's significant enough, there's a different routing I'd prefer.
Thanks!

She is. Her confirmation email has the same times/days/etc, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Have you checked the flight numbers and aircraft types?
Sometimes, with DL Connection flights, for example, the specific Connection carrier will change thereby creating a flight number change.

As davetravels notes, if the times are the same then it could have been an equipment and/or Connection carrier swap, or sometimes just flight renumbering.

Have something similar. Don't see what the change is but was interested in changing to routing to a different connection city if the change was over an hour but times seem to be the same.

Went ahead and called in. Took about 2 minutes because I was informed it was only a few minutes change which doesn't qualify me for changing the routing as I had hoped.
Oh well!
