I had JFK-IST and IST-JFK booked for mid-November. One day I went on to change my seats and noticed that I was rebooked on an IST-CDG-JFK with a 1 hour connection While this is definitely inconvenient, I'm not sure if it warrants a major complaint.
However, 3 issues I have were that I had received no notification that my return flight was outright cancelled (they stopped servicing this route for the season), I was rebooked on a flight in which I'm almost positive I would not have made the connection, but the biggest painpoint is that the flight now leaves at 5am instead of 1pm which completely throws a wrench in my travel plans. Without going into too much detail, I have to rebook my hotels(not that big of a deal), and in the end will lose out on half a day, since I will now be spending the night out by the airport instead of "downtown"
Any ideas, suggestions, and or comments are welcomed.
Since you haven't flown yet, is there a preferred (by you) flight you might take? Ask for it; they ought to be willing to switch you without fee.
