Called Austian, no waiting time, helpful agent and was offered the same midday flight a day later which I accepted. Was also offered a shorter connection on the original travel dates, but that did not solve the problem with returning the car. Now I have to stay one day longer in my hotel.
Who is paying for the extra night: me or the airline? Me I guess, but you never know.
You pay because you accepted the change
