Thanks Alvn and Gof for the quick answers!
But what is the rational behind such a rule? Wouldn't it be a win-win situation if the airline affords passengers some flexibility and at the same time gains empty seats with the same amound of revenue? The GVA->FRA flight is very often fully packed and many people are on standby.
Thanks
