yeah..but many times the info given to pax is too late... as in they send an sms just 2 hrs before the flt by the time the pax has already left for the airport etc etc.. but yes, atleast they inform even though its useless in many scenarios unless someone was running too late for the original timings..

LX may call their pax but I would not count on it even in F class.. better to give them a call before leaving for the airport..

i have always received the sms well in time....when traveling in f i have always received a call on the day of my flight to inform me whether there are any delays & to find out what time i would be getting to the airport....

sometime they don't know about the delayed flight till the last moment so that is where the '2 hours before' sms comes into the picture....

In all fairness, have never travelled in F and only few times in J so YMMV..
but in domestic flights, its always been sms 2 hrs before and the usual excuse is '' the arriving flight is late''....
I hope they r sooner rather than later going to make some kinda regulation akin to EU 261..

i'm not just talking about f & j....a lot of people in my firm travel in economy & they often get a sms the night before if there are any expected delays....

hmmm.. i guess i hv not been on any flt where the delay was known more than 3 hrs in advance or atleast they have never informed me about the same more than 3 hrs in advance by the time we are ready to leave the home..
