The only reference to aircraft change is that EK may change scheduled aircraft. Completely unrelated to time changes or cancellations and the passenger right to change/refund.
This has nothing to do with aircraft changes where there is no schedule change/cancellation. You need to read clause 9.1.2 in full, not isolated sentences.
Again, 9.2.2 does not cover aircraft changes only.
I know the 9.1 and so on has nothing to do with plane change. 9.1.2 is extremely clear. It says that it will give you a scheduled time for that flight. There may be changes in the schedule and you have to make sure that you are vigilant to address any changes. Not said but obviously, if you fail to be on top of it, you are SOL. If you are issued your ticket and the time changes, the involuntary refund option applies. Always comments like that. "You have to read the full clause. Not isolated sentences." How does anyone stay reading comments like that? As if talking to young children. I suppose reclusive, older narcissists. It was highlighted. It doesn't take a lawyer to understand this, although I wouldn't still be arguing about it if there was.
And the aircraft is covered under Flight Delays and Cancellations. Then addressed in Involuntary. The wording does not require the schedule be impacted although there is an "and" in there. It does cover plane change only. It is regarding the items covered within the Delay and Cancellation SECTION. It is not trying to tell you simply Delays and Cancellations apply.
I don't understand. Its always people on here telling you you are doing it wrong. Only the people that spend their lives on this thing, though. Aviation enthusiasts certainly are not attorneys. Its so funny how this place rejects the fact that there are tariffs, laws, general rules and regulations. This applies to all airlines who want to operate international with the US and Canada (actually only required to be honored to US RESIDENTS. Read again. required. That does not mean that they wont otherwise. I am just saying that for US residents, it is required. The remaining of it has parts that both apply and do not apply when dealing with passengers not resident to US or Canada. Sorry, I am trying to think what next BS response is going to come. "You're doing it wrong."
