We are fine with what we booked so this isn't required but I was wondering what the consensus opinion was for potential schedule changes (understanding they can happen for equipment et al issues up until departure) so I can start to commit to some other local flights at the destination. TIA
Yesterday I spent an hour on the phone to fix a schedule change for a TATL flight in May. AF canceled the flight to Paris and moved me to a day earlier - no problem for me - but they "forgot" to move the connecting flight. Not sure why this had to take an hour on the "Medallion Line". And just this morning I have an e-mail that there is a schedule change on that same PNR, but I cannot figure out what supposedly changed.
