I assume they swapped the plane with a Level a330. Is this a reasonable assumption? Is this just a one-off swap or are they going to use Level aircrafts on all flights operating this route in early january 2021?
Even accounting for the pandemic, it has been very frustrating so far. There have been endless changes in their schedule and of course there isn't any award availability now for changing my itinerary or dates.
How on earth is IB operating Level planes on the BOS MAD route? I had clearly reserved a J ticket.
Will call IB customer service, but I imagine it will be completely pointless.
Does anyone know if there is any chance that IB will revert the equipment swap back to their own metal?
is this just an error or computer glitch?
thanks in advance
did you call in? Looking at the schedule, I only see 3 days in Jan-Feb where you can't buy a business class ticket. So I assume, these are the only flights that were shifted to LEVEL. great luck.. It just so happens we were both affected, I had tickets for Jan 12th. We have decided to go with the premium economy as we have other flights in Europe already booked and not worth trying to change all the dates.
