1
The original itinerary
The flight schedule the traveler originally expected.
Methodology
How we review flight changes.
We do not assume that every schedule change creates a right to free rebooking. Where possible, we cite the airline’s own policy and relevant government guidance.
2
The revised itinerary
The replacement schedule supplied by the airline.
3
Published airline rules
Relevant official policy pages, contracts, or help content.
4
Practical alternatives
Reasonable flight options observed during the review.
Three different questions
We separate legal refund rules, airline-specific rebooking policies, and practical alternative flights. These are not the same thing.
