Schedule Change: EWR-FRA on a Bombardier Q200?!



That's definitely gonna make for an uncomfortable ride.. Should I even accept this change? I'm just concerned about this award booking.. Don't wanna lose my award ticket on TG A380 J

They have the same glitch every weekend... it's ridiculous, but it's not a new problem.

Yes, this is not a new problem with schedule changes and has been reported several times in other threads and the erroneous aircraft will/should reset to the actual equipment once the schedule change is accepted either on-line or by calling reservations.

And with that, I'm going to close this thread
