Flight time change +/- 10~15 minutes, lost assigned seats
We bought our domestic flights in March and there was a minor schedule change in April and no change in equipment. Just review our trip on DL.com and the flights are now fully booked and we lost our 4 assigned seats in a same row. Is this normal for DL operation? Don't they reassign seats after schedule change like this?

Are you sure it is the same equipment? Sometimes the change in equipment can be very subtle in the seatmap, especially with the 757 variants. You shouldn't have lost your seats just because of a schedule change.

This happened to me on my DTW-ICN flights... My inbound flight changed 10 minutes and when I checked it recently I went from seat 77K to 3A. It makes no sense at all. Of course 77 is gone.

See I typically buy international trips months in advance, I see one or more changes to equipment, seats, schedule, etc., every Saturday. So when possible I start checking in the morning and keep checking until late in the afternoon.
