Flight removed between booking and departure
 

If have a question that puzzles me.

Until last month I had a QantasLink flight that allowed me to do PER-CNS via AYQ in a single flight. This is the flight I was planning to take around July.

When I called BA, she told me that there were no flights like this and it was a 2-segment flight. Indeed when I updated my CX planner, the single segment via AYQ had been replaced. **** !

My question is then: Assuming the desk says the itinerary is OK with all flights.

Flights can change every month. They can be removed or added between booking time and departure time. What happens if I book a flight that will be cancel in like 6 months ? Will they propose me a replacement flight once I show up at PER (ie for example allowing me to do the PER-AYQ-CNS as 2 flights in case I had booked as 1 segment) ?

Thanks.

My experience with LanChile last was:

They cancelled a flight at two weeks notice and refused to fly me to the only adjacent airport which had a flight on the day I required. They took the attitude that I had a ticket issued by AA so I was their problem. I had book CCS-SCL, but had to pay to fly CCS-BOG, where I picked up BOG-SCL on LanChile. They issued this segment seperately and took the coupon out of my book.

However I would not think that LanChile are typical of oneworld.

I have booked a month ago a RTW including a DRW-SYD flight. Last week I looked at checkmytrip.net and this flight had been cancelled and replaced automatically by a DRW-BNE and BNE-SYD flights, which matched my original booking. The only problem is that it takes more miles and I have a Global Explorer ticket. I dont' know yet if it will take me more miles, because my tickets have not been issued out yet.

mmm.. thanks for the info that is exactly how I was seeing things: it's random.
