That was never a problem, trying to get rebooked on a different airline never worked out.
I'm curious how this works. You get reebooked on a different day, I take it in the same/original class of travel, hotel costs reimbursed, but is there any compensation involved for having to fly on a different date? Or do they offer you an upgrade on that flight to make this a "voluntary" change?
