Basic facts:
O class ticket LHR-DXB EK030 for Feb 5th. Flight cancelled.
Called to rebook, was told earliest date is Feb 7th. Took the seat.
I checked on KVS and I saw 1 O class seat for EK 030 on Feb 6th and 1 J/C/I (O=0) class seat for EK 008.
I asked to be rebooked on EK 008 and was told to pound sand because I was in O class and no O seats were available.
I then accepted EK 030 and tried to book the limo (to change it from tomorrow's EK030 for which I had it confirmed) and was told to, again, pound sand because it is within 48 hours.
Questions: Is EK obliged to put me on EK008 (Showing J1 C1 I1 O0) or no?
Have I lost the limo or is it worth calling back and pleading my case?
I tried to keep emotions out of this post and out of my phone conversation with EK as I didn't really have time to argue.
I'm not sure if EU regulations apply for weather(?)
Thanks!
I'm confused. As I read this, your EK 030 in O on 2/5 was cancelled due to WX. You were originally rebooked on 2/7, but found O space on the same flight on 2/6. Basically, you wind up flying in the same class, but one day late due to WX. Not sure that's a bad thing.
As to the limo, can't say much. It's an ancillary ground service, so it's all contractual & local rules.
