Thanks for all the replies.

First cancelled flight was cancelled on the day due to tech issues, from STR-GWT. they offered rerouting to HAM which I took then taxi to station and train

Second flight was DUS-ALC and back originally booked nonstop, 3 weeks before each sector got an eMail saying I have been rebooked via PMI due to unforeseen circumstances with a longer travel time, hence a 4 hr delay outbound, 7 hr delay inbound compared to original flight times.

Thanks again and any more thoughts are more than welcome.
