Even the 61+ minutes coupon is not a bad option for those intending to travel in the not too distant future.
Cancellations with a replacement flight and new flight number (even with the same departure time) are even handier.
May I try to pick your brains on this issue? I've asked this a couple of times recently but have not received a response that covers my particular situation.
When the '61 minutes' is mentioned, what timings are being referred to? My own circumstances are that 1 of the flights I have on a 3 segment itinerary has been put back 2 hours. However, I get to my final destination exactly 60 minutes later than initially scheduled because the other 2 connections have been shortened. I'm left with a very long layover and 2 tight connections amounting to an itinerary that I wouldn't have booked if it had been that way in the first place.
So I suppose my question whether they can make big changes to the content of a multi segment itinerary without triggering a right to change/cancel providing the final arrival time is under the magical 61 minutes?
TIA.
