It looks like for that one day there has been a schedule change... I am curious why. I flew AF006 a few days ago and the scheduled departure time was 13:35. And on June 13 it is 13:35 too. You get to spend one more hour in Paris! Hopefully it does not complicate your plans.

In my limited experience, the A380 flights to and from JFK are usually late. I book them with the expectation that I will get more time to relax in the lounge and in my seat. And I try and avoid short connections!

Maybe a better strategy would be to book a ticket with the degree of flexibility you require ;-)

If I need to be somewhere on a certain date, and it involves longhaul travel, I always plan to be there the day before. As, I thought, most people would - depending on how important it was to be there on time.

plenty of airlines, will show you a few examples, for all my years of travelling, nothing has changed recently

can you show 1 other airline that requires 5 hours?

In the case of an extended delay to an Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge or Air Canada Express flight which is expected to last:
- 2 hours or more:
- You can change your reservation at no cost by choosing a new departure date within 7 days of your original travel date. If you change your departing flight, you can also, at the same time, choose a new return flight to match the same length of stay, if necessary.

If we cancel a flight, fail to operate a flight reasonably according to schedule, fail to stop at your destination or Stopover, or cause you to miss a connecting flight which you hold a reservation, the amount of the refund shall be:

If your scheduled departure or arrival time changes by 30 minutes or more, we're happy to try to find other available flight options that meet your needs

Should we make a significant change to the scheduled flight time after you have purchased your Ticket, the new time is not acceptable to you and we are unable to book you on an alternative flight which is more acceptable to you, you will be entitled to a refund

We do not refund nonrefundable American Airlines tickets except when the ticket is cancelled within 24 hours of purchase, when we make a schedule change that results in a change of 61 minutes or more,

Very interesting. Let's see
Air Canada:
- definition of "extended delay" ?
Lufthansa:
- "reasonably" according to schedule (who has the final say what is reasonable?)
United:
- "happy to try"
Swiss
- "significant schedule change"
American
- "_schedule_ change of more than 1 hour"
Do you have real experience with being re-routed or re-funded by one of these airlines, for a small delay?
