Ive got a weird one. HND-FRA theyve advised me of a schedule change - but all looks exactly the same. All thats happened is theyve reissued the ticket on a brand new ticket number. Bit odd.
I wish it had happened a week earlier, because I needed to change the date a lot but now Ive put other non refundable things in place :-(

Wrong place here most likely or is it related to ANA bookings?

Yes, relating to ANA bookings. If Virgin joins Skyteam and the ability to book ANA is lost, I'm wondering if things can be rebooked, points refunded back to Virgin etc. or if it will all be just a book at your own risk.

Airlines have plenty of partners outside their alliance, e.g. Air France is partner with JAL. There is no automatism that joining Skyteam will end their relationship with ANA. After a partnership ends, they'll usually have no access to inventory, so rebooking is impossible - refund should be no problem.

Does virgin allow changing first sector in a 2 sector ticket , I booked first sector in economy and second in F(12 hour layover) now I see aa J availability a day before which means that I will be in Tokyo for 36 hours, is that allowed on one ticket? F is NRT-ORD . Also does anyone know if I'll be in the new F or is equipment swap common on this sector? Thanks in advance

Has anyone checked recently on booking for F or J flights? In the past month I saw a few that flew out of ORD first class, but the layover and being the old style didn't appeal to me. Has availability been harder as of late or is it just me? In the past few weeks, I have trying looking for flights from LAX to TYO and I can't even find anything open other than economy tickets no one wants to book for. My search was later this fall and whatever first class I did find, were gobbled up pretty quickly. The demand is still there, but the availability seems just as hard, if not harder.
