Delayed flight 72 hours out

So AC129 for this Saturday is already posting a delay. 20 min so nothing to call home about. But how do you predict a delay of 20 min 72hr in advance?

oh and also 72 hours in advance they are posting that 1561 will be 14 min early.

That's just how good AC are - and shame on you for doubting them!

There's even a reason given:
"This flight is delayed to accommodate late arriving customers"

How long has this flight been scheduled as a 330? Usually it's a narrow body.

Isn't 48h the limit between IROP and SKCH?

Good thing is that, if it's indeed an SKCH and you misconnet, you can contact whoever issued the ticket to make changes. Don't have to wait 4h on hold with AC 🤷.♂️

I've seen it recently when booking, still avoid it because I don't like the 2x2x2.
