RE: Schedule changes
All, this is normal for the airlines to make changes to their flights. This usually occurs during season changes (changes to the jet stream, increase/decrease in passenger flights for a particular airport based on time of year, etc.). I've had this happen on numerous occasions where they will either change the departure time or physically remove my original booked flight (so they have to put me on a different flight that may leave hours later). Well, after they change my booking, then a new flight pops up that departs within minutes of my original booking (this also is normal). If this happens, you are entitled to demand to be placed on this new flight WITHOUT PENALY! Be firm if they try to charge you $100 change fee. You may have to speak to a supervisor to get the airlines to change this for you.
Hope this helps everyone.
