No mention of any alternatives, no mention of any compensation no matter how minor, and -- of course -- long after he has made plans to meet up with a friend so it's hard to change flights. Of course, I guess he can rely on VX to provide "do our best to provide some reading material," wow!

Not impressive, I'd at least offer free snacks or something, since they are charging the same as if he was on a flight WITH all those systems and didn't notify him at time of booking (presumably for the reasons stated earlier in this thread). He's not a happy camper.

Hence, no choice, no nothing, if he can't change flights?
Does it tell you which of his two flights is the dark plane? When is his return flight?
