sked change question
 

So I know that mainline --> RJ allows you to rebook with no fee, but what about going from Chataqua to Endeavor? Does the rule govern this sort of change in carrier as well?

Doubt it.

That's what I thought - but it technically counts as a carrier change, no?

FlyerTalk 101: it can't hurt to call and ask

if you don't like the answer, say "Thanks anyway," hang up, and call back ... repeat as necessary

I was flying AMS-DTW-IAD once, and the DL Connection carrier for the DTW-IAD segment changed. I called and tried to change. It sounded like they were willing to make a change, but I couldn't get switched to the KLM AMS-IAD non-stop that I wanted. I did not try HUCA, so I don't know how common that is. I wouldn't expect to be able to go from one Endeavor flight to another.

OP indicated the operating carrier on the original res was Chautauqua, and it has changed to Endeavor

Right, I meant since the change to Endeavor was his reason for asking for the schedule change he would be unlikely to be able to change to a different Endeavor flight. If, for example, he booked a 2pm Chataqua flight which became an Endeavor flight I don't see why they'd let him change to a 10am Endeavor flight, but as always YMMV.

Isn't this good news?

Good news indeed. And likely I will not need to change the res- but was interested if anyone had done this, and if it "technically" count as a carrier change :)

Is this a legit issue for you or do you want to use it as an opportunity to make a needed change anyway?

How is it good news? Assuming it's still a 50-seater that would mean a change from Embraer 145 to CRJ2. I'd take the A side of the EMB any day over any seat on the CRJ. Now, if it was upguaged that's a different story.

IMO Endeavor is a better carrier.
